Limit filters getting lost when switching modes

[ayya-vimala]

Steps to take:

1. Choose a text and open it in text-view
2. Open settings and set a limit filters to another text or two
3. Switch mode to table-view
4. You will see indeed all the matches that are for the set filter settings.
5. Look at the settings and see there are no filters visible any more; the dropdowns are empty. so I no longer know which filters I set and also I cannot undo a certain filter if I had set more than one. The view is filtered correctly but the filters are no longer visible.

I would expect the set filters to remain visible when going between modes.

Followed steps to reproduce, but the issue seems to be resolved.

No, it's not resolved. The filter number seems to remain using the filters but the dropdowns in the setting don't show which filter is used. F.i. View before any filters are set:

Set filter to just show MN shows that number of matches are decreased:

Change to text-view mode:

You can see that the filter is applied but you no longer know which filter it is as the dropdowns are empty. (bottom right of the screenshot)

The image steps are shown in reverse of what is given in the description

1. Choose a text and open it in text-view
2. Open settings and set a limit filters to another text or two
3. Switch mode to table-view

So is the actual problem from table-view to text-view?

[ayya-vimala]

It doesn't matter. text view -> table view or table view -> text view both loose the information of the filter settings. It happens no matter what view you switch too. Numbers view too ..

Okay now I understand why we're reporting different things. When I first looked at this, I only tested locally. I just re-tested now both locally and on the live v2 site: locally it works as expected, on the v2 site, I got exactly the same results as you.

I'm cautious to start digging into this any further without knowing what has and hasn't been published. When testing locally I branched from main and would have thought that this is the version the published version uses, but deployment is a total black box process to me and I have no idea how to actually check what's been published.

[ayya-vimala]

I cannot check anything at the moment but when I'm back in the monastery I will try locally and see which branch BN2 is running. Thanks for checking. This is very helpful!

@ayya-vimala @aminahbl to the best of my recollection the live version is using the 148-text-view-reloads-first-page-over-and-over branch. I'll try to make this somehow visible in the frontend!

This seems to have been resolved with latest update.
