Open Dataset dialogue keeps values from previous selection

Expected behavior

I would expect the Open Data Set dialogue to be either empty or pre-filled with values corresponding to the actual dataset to be opened.

Actual behavior

When choosing to open a second dataset, the values for variable and time constraint from the previous dataset are showing up in the dialogue box. In the example shown below, the proposed time constraint is Out of range and the variable constraint is from the previously opened aerosol product and not from the FIRE dataset.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Open an arbitrary dataset.
2. Open a second arbitrary dataset.

Note that I observed this behaviour when step 1 failed dut to the unavailability of esa_cci_odp. I am currently not able to test if it the described behaviour also occurs after an successful opening as the esa_cci_odp is nor working for me at the moment.

The idea was to let users open/download data from the same spatial/temporal subset across multiple data sources. I agree, that this approach must be intersected with the actually available spatial/temporal coverage.

What about having named subset configurations that are stored with the app and which you can apply to any data source just by selecting the subset's configuration name? Each subset configuration contains

• spatial range
• time range
• variable(s) names
