      Issue Summary

      In Alpha and previous versions of databases, customers were able to hide fields in the databases and return that view with out creating new views. in the new Beta version, customers are able to hide the fields, but upon page refresh, the setting is gone, and the view reverts to the default set view. 

      ALthough creating new view by hiding fields works, but customers are not happy about creating new view every time they want to hide some fields. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Add a database to a pae by using '/embed database' (macro).
      2. Within the properties pop-up window / overlay select the existing database.
      3. In the same window configure the required view on the database table: hide unwanted columns.
      4. Close the window to embed the database.
      5. Save and refresh the page.

      The configured 'view for this particular embed' is lost. The full database is shown.

      Expected Results

      The configured view for 'this embedded database' should be retained, as it was set in the properties for embedding.

      Workaround

      1. Go to the actual database and configure a view.
      Important side note: this can only be done by the 'owner' and SITE administrators, as at this point Confluence admins cannot overrule or set ownership (!!).
      2. Save it as a custom view, without making it the Default view (otherwise all embeds will be changed to this view).
      3. With the new view active, copy the unique URL to the view.
      4. Provide the one who wants to embed the database with the unique URL.
      5. Embed the database by pasting the unique URL for the custom view into the page.
