I want the table metadata fields to default to “show”. Otherwise, I have to flip the boolean to yes every time I open the table. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/c/ce44e0ea986e8ecb00d1b97dfbd6f70ad0229256.png) ---

Or at least at a minimum, if I turn on the metadata boolean it stays on when I reopen that table ---

Totally. We created a ticket for this guy. Right now the team that owns Tables is pretty heads down trying to _move some big boulders_ but we will make sure to hit this one in our next round of _quick wins_. Keep the ideas coming. Pete ---

Any news about this? It’s very annoying to reset all settings (view metadata, sorting values etc.pp.) every time again when opening a table… Regards Chris ---

If anyone wants to get their hands dirty, I imagine you could build a chrome extension for this. Or maybe theres a chrome extension that can be configured for this. The settings can be controlled through URL parameters. You could set up a local cache to remember preferred query parameters by table id and automatically route when you get to the page. ---

I know it seems small, but being able to switch tables from sorting Old to New, to New to Old would make my life so much easier. This is something that I regularly have to do many times per day, and have to walk through clients who don’t understand and/or forget.
