After upgrading from macOS High Sierra to Mojave, I can’t open a new window or tab in a specific folder without showing all the directories from root downwards. I hoped that it would change after upgrading to Catalina but it didn’t happen. I am using column view.
What can be done to make it show only the folder's contents from the beginning, not the previous folders?
How I would like to see it:
It opens the folder "my tickets" straightaway. I don't have to see the previous folder structure.
What currently happens: When I get to folder "my tickets" and right click it to open in new tab, it opens all the directory structure again. There's no point in opening it in new window.

What you may require is to 'root' the folder that you need into the sidebar.
Is it as simple as dragging the folder that you want into the sidebar? If not I may have misunderstood your question.
There is probably a way to default this behaviour by using
default write com.apple.finder.plist <somevariable> -bool true(or similar) but I would not be able to tell you the particular variable without spending a deal of time on it. Apple prefer you to use the GUI in a lot of cases, but editing the plist files generally grant you more granular control over the system.
