How to disable object page table variant management/personalization in fiori elements + CAP odata v4

[monokizsolt7]

Hello

On the object page tables I want to disable variant management/personalization completely. I do not want the tables to save and remember what the user filtered on.

Here it says that it is disabled by default:

However it still saves the filters and applies them after I refresh the page:

Environment: CAP + odata v4 + fiori elements + SAPUI5 1.120

Thanks,

Zsolt

Hi,

Variant management and the remembering of filters applied on refresh are actually two different things. Variants allow savings/restore of the state at a later point of time even after the current session is over.

The "remembering of filters" is a session specific state persistence (called appstate) and is an implicit handling in Fiori elements that cannot be switched off. You can find more information in this page. 

This appstate handling allows Fiori elements to ensure that the user is brought back to the same state post refresh / post back navigation after an away navigation. It also helps to save the state beyond session when using for example, "Save as Tile" or "Send email" or "Share via MS Teams".

Having said this, maybe the Fiori launchpad allows some configuration to disable this persistence - I am not the topic expert here and would not know the details if this is an option!
