Hello @Nirma Sai E 

 

Just go to "sys_ux_list_menu_config" table.

2)Choose particular workspace, I am choosing SOW. Now in the "UX LIST" you will all the "Lists" which are available in this particular workspace.

3) Choose your "UX List" I am choosing "Open requests" Now in the filter, you can clearly see the default filter that's visible in workspace.

4)Just edit this filter and save. Log out and re-login it will reflect.

Hey Shivalika

 

Thanks for taking your time on this.

But, my issue here is different. I am talking about the filter operators that are available for each columns in the list inside the workspace. Such as 'starts with', 'ends with', 'contains', doesn't contains'.

In my screenshot if you see for consumer column the default operator is 'starts with' but the I have to modify it by clicking on 3 dots beside the column and choose 'contains'.

The client ask here is to default the filter operator to 'contains' instead of 'starts with'.

 

I hope this explains the issue better. Please let me know is there any option to do that.

That will be a great help.

As per my knowledge the filter will always show "starts with" as it's the first option and there is no setting that you can set it with "contains" by default.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
