Please make saved filters available to all column sets
I just realized that saved filters are specific to column sets. In other words: All my filters which I have defined for Column Set A are not available in Column Set B.
While I can understand the logic from a developer’s point of view (filters require the filtered columns to be present, and columns differ per column set), it is not user friendly at all.
Ideas for a solution:
- Make saved filters automatically available in all column sets where the filtered columns are present.
- Create an option «Make available in all column sets» in the saved filter settings which adds the required columns to all column sets (visible or invisible).
At this moment, this is not possible.
The reason is that every column has a unique ID. So (smart) filtering is applied to a specific column with its own settings. And since all our pro logic is built on top of our core plugin/feature: admin columns, we cannot easily find a workaround for what you’re asking.
We will make Saved Filters part of the export in a next major release. Along with a new way to import exports / presets, you can duplicate column sets together with the saved filters.
