When changings workspace settings for a listview, these changes aren’t shown.

For instance when doing this:

It keeps showing this:

The image shows a menu bar with options for "Collection," "Content," and "Info," with the "Info" option currently selected. (Captioned by AI)

Hi @remkovb, welcome to the forum! :waving_hand:

I appreciate the frustration that this particular feature is missing from v14+. I did attempt to implement this for v14, but upon review it wasn’t an ideal solution, so it wasn’t merged in. :confused:

It is definitely still on the core team’s radar. :100:
(Again, I appreciate that it can’t come quick enough).

The technical reason behind the difficulty with implementing this was due to the Collection/ListView (which is effectively a property-editor) is unable to have influence over it’s parent’s elements (e.g. the workspace-view/content-app), so it can’t easily change the sort order, icon or label . At least, not without making them appear very hack.

The long-term resolution is to introduce a Context API for the Workspace Views, which would then be able to support other (missing features), such as Workspace View Badges, changing the icon/label/weight, Keyboard Shortcuts, User History and browser title.
