Make "Show variants present only in unaffected" checked by default

Dear developers,

We continue using Scout in teaching and I have rolled forward to the latest code. To not break our lab, I need to have “Show variants present only in unaffected” checked by default in the “Clinical SNV and INDELs” page.

This page is controlled in scout/server/blueprints/variants/templates/variants/utils.html but I do not know if there is a way update the html to pass a setting to automatically have it checked when the page loads.

{% macro filter_form_footer(form, result_size, total_variants, more_variants, page, nvars) %}
<div class="card-footer text-center">
  <input type="hidden" id="expand_search" name="expand_search">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-4">
      <div class="form-check d-flex justify-content-start">
        {{ form.hide_dismissed(class="form-check-input") }}
        {{ form.hide_dismissed.label(class="form-check-label ms-2") }}
      </div>
      <div class="form-check d-flex justify-content-start">
        {{ form.show_unaffected(class="form-check-input") }}
        {{ form.show_unaffected.label(class="form-check-label ms-2", **{'data-bs-toggle': 'tooltip', 'title':'This filter applies only to cases with more than one sample. When this is unchecked, only variants that are predicted by callers to be present in an affected individual genotype are shown.'}) }}
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-4 d-flex justify-content-center">
      Filter returns {{result_size}} / {{ total_variants }} variants.
    </div>
    <div class="col-4 d-flex justify-content-end">
      Showing {%if more_variants %}page {{page}}{%else%}last page{% endif %} with {{nvars}} variants.
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
{% endmacro %}

Can someone please help?

We use the platform differently from how it is used in a true clinical setting.

In our case, we only have a few hand-crafted variants per case that students are stepping through to observe genotypes across pedigrees and verify how they match pathologies and patterns of inheritance and the affected individuals and such. I just want to make sure all variants are shown per default.

Perhaps we can introduce a new settings option on the institute page, so that it applies only to your institute
