Subject: [PATCH] feat: add settings option to always show advanced widgets on
 all nodes (#8244)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Solved issue:
Currently, the display status of advanced widgets can only be set
individually for each node, but users would like to have a global switch
to always display all advanced widgets.

I also adjusted some related code to solve the issue of code
duplication.
