FlexibleColumnLayout: close detail page

On iPad: I am using the FlexibleColumnLayout to display an ObjectTable on the left page and a detail page on the right.
At the beginning only the List is displayed on the whole screen. By clicking on an entry the detail page for this entry will be opened on the right. 

How can I close the detail page so that only the list page is being displayed again?
The ClosePage Action is not working, when I try to execute it on the detail page.

The only way I found is to perform a navigation to my main page (where the flexibleColumnLayout is located).

clientAPI.executeAction({
        Name: "/Checklist/Actions/GenericNavigation.action",
        Properties: {
            PageToOpen: "/Checklist/Pages/Main.page",
            NavigationType: "Outer",
            ClearHistory: true,
            Transition: {
                Name: "Fade"
            }
        }
    })

But this has the disadvantage that the whole list page is rerendered and the list is scrolled to the top again.

Is there a better way to close the detail page of a FlexibleColumnLayout page on a tablet?

By design, the Flexible column layout does not support closing the second column once opened. 

As this functionality is currently not available in MDK standard control, I would suggest you to open a feature request here. We'll review it based on its priority.
