Description

When defining DefaultModelExpandDepth (and DefaultModelsExpandDepth likewise), the models expand nicely by default, however any enum values will not be expanded.

See this example:

vs

This way it is not possible to show a complete "picture" of the actual model and it's possibilities upon first view.

Personally I'd just also collapse the EnumModel based on the given configuration, but if the current behavior is expected, it would be nice to have an option to toggle it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior with DefaultModelExpandDepth and DefaultModelsExpandDepth, using the example and screenshots in the issue. Trace how model expansion treats enum values and clarify whether enums should follow the configured depth or need a separate option; done when the intended behavior is visible on the initial model view.
