Experiments UI ignores default view

[kirilllzaitsev]

Describe the Bug

'Experiments' window always defaults to the 'Auto-generated' view despite another custom view being set as default.

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
The default view is the one I set.

Where is the issue?

• Comet Python SDK
• [+] Comet UI
• Third Party Integrations (Huggingface, TensorboardX, Pytorch Lighting etc)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ../view/new/experiments window in a project
2. Modify some columns, save the view, and set the default view to this custom one
3. Open an experiment and go back again or reopen the browser
4. Observe the 'Auto-generated' view displayed despite a custom one being the default

Hi @kirilllzaitsev
I've raised this with our engineering team and they are looking into it, I'll keep you posted on our progress with this issue

Hi @kirilllzaitsev
I've been looking into this issue for you and I think the platform is working as expected.

The logic we have today is that the Back to project button will redirect you back to the view you were on when you clicked into the experiment, this is so that you don't need to keep change the view when going from one experiment to another. If you when to an experiment directly from the SDK for example, we redirect back to the default view of the project

In the flow that you shared, were you in the Autogenerated view when you click into the experiment ? Or was the new default view active ?

@jverre I set a custom view to be the default one several weeks ago. What I observe now is that this custom view may persist for some time when opening other tabs/experiments or even closing the browser. However, 'Auto-generated' is nonetheless shown after some time when I reopen '/view/new/experiments'. The custom one is always marked as 'default' as on the second screenshot

Thanks for the additional info! We're working on some updates to the auto-generated views. We'll let you know when this is complete.

Many updates have been made to views. Can you check it out?

Hi. Unfortunately, the problem is still there, though visually the view selection looks different.

exp_main is not loaded by default.
