The default initial fetch size for the AutoFilter dialog is 1,000 unique items. This can be changed globally by modifying the property:

`AutoFilterSelectionPanel.defaultInitialFetchSize=[size]`

You can also set the maximum fetch size by modifying the property:

`AutoFilterSelectionPanel.maxAutoFilterItems=[size]`

The fetch size can be set per-column by including this method in your layout builder:

`.autoFilterFetchSize("ColName", int size)`

Additionally, modifying the maximum cache size property will keep selected values in the cache so that they always appear in the AutoFilter dialog regardless of the fetch size.

`AutoFilterSelectionPanel.maxCacheSize=[size]`

This property defaults to 100. Cached items appear first (even after they become unselected).

These should be configured in the `iris_console` and `interactive_console` stanza.
