We have a business requirement to control our filters on our entity lists via a pop up window.
My idea is to make the out of the box filters invisible (on the page with the entity list) and recreate the functionality of the filters in the pop up window and trigger the hidden filters with JavaScript.
I've done something similar with Entity Forms before.
However, when I'm trying to work this out, the form objects that come with the out of the box filters have no unique identifiers.
a/ How can I map my form from the pop up window onto the filter form objects in the main window?
b/ How is this even working out of the box with no unique identifiers?
