Different organisations have different workflows.

The default filters in the GitHub pane aren't universally useful.

E.g. in my last few orgs, we used the request review feature rather than assignee

So for me to find my work, I need to keep editing the filter query.

I would like the last filter query to persist so it doesn't reset back each time I change another option

or to be able to customise the default query so at least it's resetting back to something that is actually useful for my & my workflow

I can see value in both features!
