Is there a way to change the default Status in Search? The default had been “All” in WorkflowGen 5.x. May of our users say that they would prefer “All” as the default over “Open” even though it pulls in more results and may slow down search performance.

The system selects this option by default and there is no configuration to change the default value of the Status.
