Change behavior of filter "limit by lifecycle" in DNG

In DNG when the filter " limit by lifecycle" is used with option "failed" for test items it will show us a list with requirements linked to a failed TCs but also shows us passed TCs. This behavior doesn't help us at all since we need to filter the latest result of the latest execution. The filter always should refer to the latest result not matter it was passed or failed. So if the passed TCER was today and the failed TCER  was last week, then the requirement should always react to the latest result. So if someone will filter as an example to failed, the requirement should disappear and not to show me the failed status which was last week. 

So as a conclusion we need the filter to show us for failed TCER the latest failed result, we do not need to see what was in the past, if the last result is failed then the filter should look for the latest result which is failed. We saw many requirements filtered through "limit by lifecycle - failed" with the status "passed" just because the TCER was failed long time ago which doesn't help us. 

Please let us know if this can be changed and when. 

Thank you!
