Kibana: Spaces - User specific favorite space

[kobelb]

Once we are able to store user settings/defaults, we'd like to allow users to choose their favorite space so that they're always logged into their favorite space when first visiting Kibana.

It looks like this was added to a project that was closed, and no work was done on this issue. If there is an update to this enhancement request can somebody provide it?

I came to this issue as a result of trying to set a default space, so +1 for the enhancement request.

@jbyroads this is still something we want to do, but it is blocked on #17888

Instead of waiting for #17888 could this be stored in locale storage? I'm okay with it not persisting across devices but at least having the same device remember my setting would be great.

We explored something similar in the past, and ended up deciding against an approach like this: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19417#issuecomment-391833132

The good news is that user-specific settings are on the horizon. The security and platform teams are going to dive into this in the very near future.

I agree with everything in that comment. Although this line stands out 2.5 years later:

User preferences is a really important feature to sort out sooner rather than later

("sooner" can of course be relative 😄)

Awesome! I realise things like this is nice-to-have and not top priority but good to hear it's on the near-term roadmap

Our company is ElasticCloud customer and we really miss this feature.
