Filter options on Saved Searches

I know this has been discussed, but I don't know if it's been resolved (I did search the forums, but couldn't find the specific answer I want).

Can I save the FILTER OPTIONS (which tags, hide future, etc.) with a SAVED SEARCH?

It seems that the filter options are always whatever-I-set-them-to-last. So, if I'm just viewing tasks and am messing with my filters, then I switch over to a saved search -- any filters that were in effect when I saved my search are NOT necessarily in use.

Yes, you can do this, but you need to first go into your account settings and turn on the "Save sort preferences on a per-list basis" option under "Behavior Preferences"

Already on, and has been on.

I modified my searches, change the filters to wrong and then right again, then re-saved my search, and it seems to be sticking.

Thanks

Criminy - I take it back. I swear I switched back and forth and it seemed to hold my filter options (NOT sorting, tag selection, hiding of future, etc.).

Now, however, I changed the settings on a search, went to the OTHER search, and the 2nd search had the filter settings of the first.

So - still a problem, for me.

Is this on the new Tasks section or the "classic" tasks section?

I'd like to be able to save different COLUMN displays for different searches.

As far as I can tell, every view has the same columns.

Yes, this is not currently possible. The columns are a per-account setting. Sorry.

Jake, sorry for the delay. I believe I was in "classic" tasks.

I select a search, click Modify, click Search, change my filters, click Save Changes.

I select a different search, go thru the same steps (but changing to DIFFERENT filters).

I go back to the first search, and check the filters -- they are set as I set the SECOND search.

I just tested the corresponding steps on the "new" tasks section, and get the same results.

Try using the new Tasks section. I'll put this on my todo list to test out also.

I did try the test in the new section - same (bad) results there, unfortunately.

This remains a problem.

This remains a problem, after 3+ months. Am I the only one? I have to reset my filters every time I switch to a different search.

If by filters you are referring to the eye icon (e.g. filtering contexts), then I believe these are not saved per view. So what you see is actually intended behaviour.

So Jake's answer on 3/1 was wrong? I can save sorts, but not filters?

Any solution for this?
Is it possible to save the url link or something so the filters are saved too?

Hi, right now its not possible to save the filters. Those settings are saved for the complete account. I will look into this, thank you for your suggestion.
