Description
To n total link is shown in Django Admin panel beside the search button at the top of the list view page. When you click on this link all the filters are cleared in order to show all the values.
The issue happens when you change the default filter behavior when rendering the list. I followed https://stackoverflow.com/questions/851636/default-filter-in-django-admin#answer-16556771 which works fine for a default filter but breaks the n total link.
For example, if there are a total of 5 records and the default filter shows only 2 of them then clicking on n total link will also show only 2 of them.

https://pasteboard.co/JcZRDpr.png - After clicking on 5 total link. Notice the change in URL. This should show all the records but it doesn't
Currently I haven't found a simple builtin way to fix this without actually changing the template.
Sorry, I can't see that this is supported usage.
You've filtered the default queryset, so when that queryset is used, the results will be filtered. If you want to show all results you can't filter the queryset. (No doubt with enough machinations what you're trying to do would be possible…)
