Description Dirk Fauth CLA 2023-03-03 09:39:27 EST 
The combobox filter (Excel like filter) is dependent on the content that is currently shown. The state persistence is therefore also dependent on the list that is currently active, as the state contains the values that are currently selected. It does not persist the information what values are currently NOT selected.

This makes it almost impossible to reapply such filter states on collections with different values for the columns.

If the state would persist the values that are currently NOT SELECTED, it would be possible to apply the filter state even on different lists.

For this the FilterRowDataProvider needs to know the FilterRowComboBoxDataProvider, otherwise it is not possible to collect the values that are not selected. As this is a pretty intrusive change that also introduces a new dependency in code, the inverted persistence needs to be enabled explicitly. Otherwise (and also the default) is the persistence of selected values.
