Feature request: saved filters in the dashboard
Would be cool to have the ability to save and name a filter, values and all, for a given table. Would use this a lot, and it would probably increase my usage of the dashboard in general.

One potentially simpler approach, provide a recent filters list to choose from. Even without custom naming, would provide a lot of the value of the full feature.
Saved views are definitely on the radar! Thanks for the request, helps bump up the priority
Data point: been doing some heavy data investigations, multiple dashboard tabs side by side, and recent filters would have been even more useful than saved filters, honestly. A whole lot of one-offs that I wouldn't normally take the time to save. I often wanted to use the browser back button to get to the last filter in the current table, which doesn't work (and that's understandable).
Yup, I'd agree with that! I felt a similar way when building the "Run history" in the function runner -- seeing the most recent arguments provides most of the value that bookmarking some arguments/queries does. There's definitely additional value, but we'll be focusing on recent things first. I'll have to think a bit more about whether the back button should include filter state - it could be annoying if you actually want to use navigation to go back to the last real page

Yeah that's why I said back button behavior is understandable, you could end up with a long history of stuff you didn't expect to be there. Recents should fill the gap just fine imo.
We shipped a filter history on the data page for everyone today ( @erquhart had early access to it )
