Fix: servers per-page setting resets after session expiry - #2502
Conversation
Filament only caches the table's records-per-page choice in the PHP session, so it silently reverts to the hardcoded default once the session expires. Store the selection in the user's customization column, mirroring the existing dashboard_layout preference, so it survives session expiry.

I don't think we need an extra customization for that. The panel also stores other values in the session and that's fine. Besides that, this issue is pretty niche because the default lifetime is 2 hours. |

Fair point on consistency, but I'd frame this less as a timing edge case and more as a basic UX expectation: once someone deliberately changes this setting, they expect it to stick, that's the whole point of changing it. As a concrete example, I have around 20 servers myself, so I bumped the per-page from 10 to 20 on purpose, to see them all on one page every time I load the dashboard. I don't want to have to re-select that every time my session happens to renew, I want it to just stay set, permanently, like any other preference. It's less about how rare a 2-hour session expiry is and more about the setting not actually behaving like a saved preference at all right now. |

I personally think this idea looks good to me, plus it can always be cached. I agree with the expectation that once a user sets this value, it should remain the same. FYI, I have NOT run this branch, NOR have I tested it yet though. |
Validate the selected per-page value against the table's current page options before persisting, merge into the raw customization data via a new User::setCustomization() so enum defaults that fail validation are never written, and scope the per-page session key by layout so a grid value can't invalidate the list default. Adds pest coverage for the persistence, validation, and layout fallback paths.

Two concurrent requests could each read the same customization document and the later save would drop the earlier one's key. Re-read the row with lockForUpdate inside a transaction so the merge always starts from the latest stored value.
Summary
Filament only caches the servers table's "records per page" selection in the PHP session. Once the session expires (Laravel's default
SESSION_LIFETIMEis 120 minutes, and Pelican doesn't override it), the setting silently reverts to the hardcoded default (10 in grid view / 20 in list view) instead of staying at whatever the user picked.This PR persists the selection in the user's
customizationcolumn (the same mechanism already used fordashboard_layout,top_navigation, etc.), so it survives session expiry instead of only lasting a couple of hours.customization.servers_per_pageinstead of the hardcoded default.ListServers) only, per the contributing guide's "one targeted change per PR" — the same session-only limitation exists on a few other tables (egg list, activity log, file manager) but I left those out of this PR.Test plan
Tested manually end-to-end in a local Docker dev build (
