Remember podcast played filter setting

I would like a feature where when filtering a list of a podcast’s episodes, I can exclude played podcast (existing feature) AND then have my previously selected filtering setting be selected automatically when I go back to the same podcast episode list (new feature).
Apple’s Podcast app has this feature and makes it much easier to get to episodes I want to listen. I find this gap in functionality so annoying that I’m tempted to stop using  Spotify and start using Apple only.

 

Note that I found that someone else submitted this idea and it was closed because it was deemed a duplicate idea. However, the referenced duplicate idea is to solve a different issue.  Here is link to the idea that  was incorrectly closed in my view:

Also, here is a link to the community page where many people expressed their frustration with this gap in functionality:

Hello @Lyubka ,


Apparently a few others have previously submitted this idea:

Could the votes for these other idea entries be added to the idea entry I created?

 

Many thanks,
