I would love to see some action on this. Yes you can filter out ‘all closed’ when on the object view, but there is no way to add these filters to the right-hand column in the record view, making that potentially useful section cluttered and unmanagable.
Also when trying to associate objects you get the full unfiltered list and there is no whay of telling which objects are current and which are closed.
Surely there has to be an easy fix to this.
