Use Case:

I have a page to display support tickets with the following structure:

• Collection Filter Fragment (Keyword Search)
• Tabs Fragment
  • Tab1: Collection Display: Tickets (Filtered to Open Tickets)
  • Tab2: Collection Display: Tickets (Filtered to Closed Tickets)

The page includes two tabs to display open and closed tickets and a Collection filter fragment to search within both collections.

If I switch to tab2 and then change the Keyword for the Collection filter fragment, the page will reload and I am switched back to tab1. I then have to switch to tab2 to see my filter applied.

Implementation Options:

• Persist Selected Tab in URL: This could match the method used to persist the query for the collection filter fragment.
• Persist the Selected Tab in local storage: This has the advantage of keeping the URL cleaner.
• Provide Configuration for Persistence: Fragment configuration could be provided to choose whether the selected tab should persist or not. It could also provide the ability to choose which persistence method is desired.
