Add ability to edit save query search scope #705

Open dvstans opened 3 years ago

dvstans commented 3 years ago

Currently, editing a saved query does not restore the search selection of the query. This is a somewhat complex problem because the search selection requires structural information about the individual items in a search scope that is not present in the saved query record. This information will need to be recalculated when the query is loaded for editing.

Clarification

In this case, a user selects a folder where they want to apply a query, They discover they need to edit the query. They make changes to the query but now their collection has been deselected and they have to go back and select it again?

Opinion

If it is the case that before editing the query the user had already selected the collection where the query is to be executed I believe this would improve the user experience.
