Why don't Filters showing List Data respect PreFilter rules?

[BodgeIT]

My list Prefilter(set at list level) effectly filters on a yes/no column to create Published/Unpublished option for data.
My filter dropdown lists show data that is "Unpublished" ignoring the Prefilter.

Is there anyway to improve this behaviour?

Did you set your filter element to "Filter data" = recorded data in List view settings/Filters?

Yes that is what I have set.

I have list data set in List Filter settings and recorded data set in element filter settings.
I previously had my "Published" prefilter set on menus, then realised that this may not affect the filters, so moved my published prefilter to the list pre-filter settings.
I just want to limit the filters to only showed recorded data that is 'published' content (my 'published' (filtered at list level)) so as not to create unnecessary "couldn't find any info with this filter" type situations.

Set list filter setting to "default" and element filter to "recorded".

Above

I have list data set in List Filter settings and recorded data set in element filter settings.

Should have read:

I have "Show List data" set in List Filter settings and recorded data set in element filter settings.

I did try your suggestion but it made no difference.

Set list filter setting to "default" and element filter to "recorded".

This is working on my site.
I think the important setting is the element.
