Comment:

This would be very useful. Hoping for this in 1.4.

There is a ugly workaround on [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/851636
/default-filter-in-django-admin/3783930#3783930 StackOverflow], but this
does not show the default filter in the filterbar.

Comment (by charettes):

I think you can achieve this in 1.4+ by subclassing
`django.contrib.admin.ChoicesFieldListFilter`.

Comment:

This feature has been already introduced in Django, unfortunately, I don't
know when. Basically, subclass `SimpleListFilter` and override two methods
`lookups` and `queryset`. You can read about it in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_filter
ModelAdmin.list_filter docs]

I'm closing this ticket as fixed, as described feature is in my opinion
what you were looking for. If you feel it's not what you need, please
reopen with detailed description what should be changed.

Comment:

I would argue that this is not fixed. I believe I have the same issue as
the OP - I want to choose which of the available filter options should be
selected by default. I don't want to customize the filtering behavior by
subclassing SimpleListFilter. The desired behavior is that when I go to
admin changelist url, it is *as if I had already chosen one of the
filtering options*. I don't want to change the behavior of the filtering
options. I just want one (the defined default) to be pre-selected.

I'm willing to test this out once a patch has been committed.

Implemented simply, as originally described, this would be a very useful
feature indeed.

Comment (by timgraham):

While testing after commit is certainly helpful, if you can give feedback
on and/or test the [https://github.com/django/django/pull/5579 pull
request] before it's committed, that's even more helpful.

Just did some testing as well, and the filters selected value does not
work correctly with the defaults. Working on a fix.
