[Develop] Flagged Photo filter in Develop reverts to "ALL" after applying Denoise

Question

Bug report template:
Issue:

Lightroom Classic Version Number:  3.14 Release
OS Version Number: Windows 11 (23H2)

Steps to reproduce:

Start Lightroom Classic
Open Catalog with more than 1 image (Or import multiple images)
Select one of the images
Select "P" (or Photo > Set Flag > Flagged)
Select Develop
Above filmstrip at bottom right, 'Filter' select the 'flagged' icon (Or: Select the dropdown > flagged)
Verify only flagged photos are shown in the filmstrip  
From the edit menu on right, under the Detail Pane, select "Denoise..."
Select Enhance 
Verify the system completes denoise operation
Verify the filmstrip still only shows flagged images. `Fail: Shows all One must select flagged again to return to flagged only.`

Expected result: One should not have to keep filtering to 'flag' after using the denoise operation. Actual result: After pressing denoise, the filmstip does not keep only flagged photos
(Guess what I do for a living....) &#128521; Hopefully the instructions are clear enough.

This is an FAQ. It is not a bug, but as designed. Filters are reset when you select an action that creates a new file, such as Denoise does. The reason is to avoid confusion. If you filtered on something that would filter out the new file -for example because you filtered on raw files- then it may seem that Denoise did not work at all, because you will not see the new DNG (which is not a raw file) appear. If you do not want the filter to be reset, then lock it by clicking the padlock in the upper right corner (at the top of the Library grid; the filmstrip does not have the padlock).

In my photo folders, I have applied filters - gradings, colour labels etc. to refine editing choices, but everytime I 'Develop' a photo and use Denoise, all filters are always switched-off automatically after Denoise has finished applying to an image.

How do I stop this, as it means I have to go back to my folders everytime to re-apply the filters?
