Question

Quoted directly from user Marc Moroz in this thread.

I'd like to be able to customize the default "My Cases" filter. Just about everyone I know has made their own "My Cases" filter so they can display the filter the way they like

Answer 2

I have created a custom Bugmonkey script that enables users to do this. Technically it doesn't change the default "My Cases" filter, instead it uses smoke and mirrors so that it appears it does to the user.

Users create their own custom filter called "My Cases" as per usual. This normally appears down under the "My Filters" area within filter context menu. The Bugmonkey script detects that, moves that filter up where the default "My Cases" filter belongs. It then hides the default "My Cases" filter.

This actually ends up quite seamless to the user and if they delete their own filter then the default comes back.

    var customFilter =  $("#filterPopup a:contains(My Cases)").not(defaultFilter);
    if (customFilter.length > 0)
    {
        customFilter.insertAfter(defaultFilter);
        defaultFilter.css("display", "none");
    }
