How can I change the default filter on a list view

I have created a global custom filter on the accounts list view (show all accounts that do not have a parent_id)

This is working but I need to manually select the filter for the list view to display the accounts satisfying the filter

My requirement is to have this filter as the default filter instead off all_records

I tried changing custom\modules\Accounts\clients\base\filters\default\default.php by changing 

  'default_filter' => 'all_records',
to
  'default_filter' => 'filterParentAccounts',
and doing a QRR but that did not work, Any suggestions would be appreciated
