Airflow UI homepage retains DAG runs status filters across sessions #53705
Description
Apache Airflow version
Other Airflow 2 version (please specify below)
If "Other Airflow 2 version" selected, which one?
2.10.0
What happened?
When a user clicks on the “Running” or “Failed” status filters on the Airflow homepage, the UI behaves correctly at first. However, once a user has applied one of these filters, any future visit to the homepage on the same machine automatically redirects them back to that previously selected filtered view — even after restarting the browser or navigating away.
This behavior is machine-specific and persistent:
The redirect only starts after the filter has been used at least once.
It affects only the specific device or browser session used to apply the filter.
Other users or the same user on a different machine/browser are not affected until they use the filters themselves.
Actual Behavior
Homepage automatically redirects to the previously selected filtered state (e.g., "Running" or "Failed") even when accessing the base /home URL, without any filter specified.
What you think should happen instead?
The homepage should open to the default (unfiltered) DAG view unless a filter is explicitly applied in the current session or via URL parameters.
How to reproduce
Open the Airflow UI homepage.
Click on either the Running or Failed task state filter.
Navigate away from the page or restart the browser.
Return to the homepage (e.g., /home) — it now redirects to the filtered view automatically.
