Not 100% about allowing the icon to totally be removed since it kinda removes the indication that you can click to expand/collapse something as well as its current state. If the toggle text updates based on the state + the text indicates somehow that it expands/collapses something, then less of an issue probably.

Maybe if we just have the prop description mention that if an icon is omitted, we recommend the toggle text to indicate the current state of the expandable section. Should we also get design sign off on this?

This is sort of what I'm thinking could be an issue:

Uncontrolled expandable section without an icon, showing expanded state

I know this is expanded because I clicked it to expand it + knew it started as collapsed, but in other contexts it may not be clear that that is the case.

We can add an error? My concern is that the consumer asked for a way for consumers to provide their own custom icon directly as part of the toggle content.

I think allowing a custom icon would be fine - I assume whatever icon they pass in would retain the transition between expanded and collapsed at least. I'd be more wary about allowing the removal of the icon entirely is all.

Got it - let me bug them and see if they can get by with the smaller change.
