How to change dag_default_view in Airflow webserver?

Airflow v1.8 introduced a change in the UI where clicking a DAG takes you to the "Tree" view, instead of the previously defaulted "Graph" view. According to the documentation, adding/changing this line in the config should alter this behavior, but I haven't had any success:

# Default DAG view.  Valid values are:
# tree, graph, duration, gantt, landing_times
dag_default_view = graph

https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/master/airflow/config_templates/default_airflow.cfg#L220-L222

Am I misreading the instructions? Has anyone been able to successfully get this default behavior to change?

This change is not actually in the latest stable version (1.8.2). It will be in the next version (1.9.0), as specified in the fix version of AIRFLOW-903. The first release candidate for 1.9.0 was cut yesterday, so hopefully that means the change you want will be on the stable version soon.
