Is there a way to clone an existing filter if one only needs to change part of it, and save under a new filter name? It is really frustrating having to create a new filter each time, then selecting most of the same settings including the visible columns, ordering of the columns etc, when only a small change is needed between the old and the new filter.
If this is not currently possible, I really hope this is addressed with the new UI.
Thank you

I second everything that you said, including the disposition of the columns. It’s currently frustrating. I also hope that it will get addressed in the new UI.
