Enable custom field selection and column order in all saved filters

Feature Request:
Enable custom field selection and column order in all saved filters.

Motivation:
Filters are created to show a subset of all information available in the database. Sometimes the information of interest is similar between two filters and it makes sense to have the same columns showing in the same order. Sometimes not.

I have made use of this requested functionality in other relational database tooling and it enabled the example use case below.

Example Use Case:

Project manager creates a filter that shows only the requirement ID, name and its verification status.  This filter is referred to by the project team as the Requirement Test Result filter always shows just these three columns of information.

This example is a real use case in our company.  It supports a larger theme (our greatest motivation to embrace Jama), which is our desire to provide hyperlinks to filtered information in the Jama database instead of manipulating content in Excel, uploading and hyperlinking to SharePoint.

    Any update on this? It's been 5 years and this seems a pretty basic but necessary part of filters.
