Retain last choices in the facets column of the Articles page

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently, I try to keep the Articles page on its own tab after I make some facet choices, e.g., a particular List. But very old, strong habits cause me to just click an article rather than right-clicking for a new tab. It would be very nice if the Articles page remembered your last faceting choices when you returned to it via the Back function, or even after you closed the Articles page and opened it again in the same Anvil session.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Everyone who works on a world long enough gets to a point where article management demands lots of navigation. Being able to retain facet settings would be very helpful for things like finding and working on items in the Stub Articles list.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Working with the List facet type inspired this request, but making the other three facet type settings 'sticky' would be equally handy. I have a Plots category under my Campaign category and some of the plots are connected. When I forget the name of a related plot, sticky settings would mean that I could keep my train of thought without having to select the Plots subcategory again.

The Team's Response

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, we'll have to close it due to lack of interest from the community. Feel free to suggest it again at a later date if you believe it will gain more traction!
