Feature request: Bring saved Views from Issues to Pull Requests (+ quick filters)

Saved Views currently live under Issues, but there is no equivalent entry point under Pull requests.

Problem

I frequently use saved queries for pull requests (e.g. awaiting review, team-specific labels, author filters), but I can’t access those saved views directly from the Pull requests page. This creates extra navigation and repeated query entry.

Proposal

Add saved Views to the Pull requests interface as well.

• Only surface views whose query clearly targets PRs, such as:
  • is:pr
  • type:pr
  • or equivalent PR-targeting qualifiers
• Keep issue-only views scoped to Issues.

Optional enhancement

Add quick-filter buttons/tabs in Pull requests that instantly apply saved PR view queries.

Expected benefits

• Faster PR triage workflows
• Less repetitive query typing
• Better parity and consistency between Issues and Pull requests

Additional notes

• Possibly related to Saved Filters #47220

Hello

Individual repository pull request tabs currently lack the native saved views functionality available for issues. While teams can save up to 25 shared filters in the repository issues sidebar, the pull requests sidebar does not support saving custom views. This forces code reviewers to waste time manually re-typing complex query strings every day to track repository-specific milestones, team labels, or authors.

To resolve this limitation, platforms should extend the repository-level saved views architecture directly into repository pull request tabs. To keep the interface organized, the system should automatically filter search parameters and only surface views containing explicit pull request qualifiers. Saved views meant strictly for standard issues should remain locked inside the issues tab to prevent cross-contamination.

Implementing this update will create perfect parity between issue and pull request workflows. It will accelerate daily team code reviews by removing the dependency on scattered browser bookmarks and eliminating the constant frustration of entering repetitive search keywords.

Regards
