Ability to set default date filter for Nominal Ledger Transaction Enquiry

When looking at a nominal account enquiry, the transaction filter is currently defaulted to "No filter" so you see all transactions in date order and then need to filter/sort to find what you want.

It would be useful if you could set the enquiry to default to "Filter by period". That way upon opening the enquiry, you would see this years transactions only and could easily select a period if you need to narrow it down.

Idea Benefit Time saving, clearer to view
How do you solve for this problem today? Manually filter. I almost always need to look at a period in the current year, so it's annoying to always start with old data (and I know we can Archive transactions but we don't always want to do that when a year is still being audited).
