V8R8.7.0 new interface needs long LPAR list

The new HMC interface (as opposed to classic) is mandatory in HMC version V8R8.7.0. In this new interface LPARs are displayed as icons by default but
this can be switched to list view. The list view defaults to 20 LPARs. Our enterprise systems contain more than 20 LPARs so I am forced to change the list number to 50 EVERY TIME the screen renders. This new interface renders ridiculously slow as it is. Having to click it and wait yet another time every time I want to look at it is horribly inefficient. I need to permanently set this to 50 but can't find any preference settings. I opened PMR 61821,082,000 to find out how to do this, but was told "Unfortunately that is not an option".

Add a preference setting or otherwise make the HMC remember that I selected 50 LPARs per page.

    Hi,

    The preference setting for persisting the pagination selection is supported in HMC V9 R1.910.0. Please see https://delivery04.dhe.ibm.com/sar/CMA/HMA/07hb4/2/MH01733.readme.html

    Thanks.
