Store filter in query string

[dstollie]

The last version (the big refactor you were talking) really solved a few issues we were having. A huge thank you for these improvements:

There was no filter logic so we built one ourselves as seen below. Though I'd keep the filters we've created ourselves I really also want to add the filter options you've created.

My question is: how am I able to store the filters (both search and custom filters) in to the query param, I tried both setting

    public array $tableColumnSearches = [
        'application_status',
    ];

and

    protected $queryString = [
        'application_status',
    ];

This is the filter

            ->filters([
                SelectFilter::make('application_status')
                    ->options(ApplicationStatus::class)
                    ->multiple()
            ])

Do you also have any advice on how add custom filter like ive created above in flowforge? Right now vibe-coded this solution mutating the getEloquentQuery and force a $refresh

    public function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
    {
        // Get filters from session as fallback if properties are empty
        $positionFilter = $this->positionFilter ?: session('application_board.positionFilter', '');
        $statusFilters = ! empty($this->statusFilters) ? $this->statusFilters : session('application_board.statusFilters', []);

        // Store current values in session
        session(['application_board.positionFilter' => $positionFilter]);
        session(['application_board.statusFilters' => $statusFilters]);

        $query = Application::with(['candidate', 'vacancy.position', 'position']);

        $query->when($positionFilter, function (Builder $q) use ($positionFilter) {
            $q->where(function (Builder $subQ) use ($positionFilter) {
                // Direct position relationship
                $subQ->where('position_id', $positionFilter)
                    // OR through vacancy relationship
                    ->orWhereHas('vacancy', function (Builder $vacancyQ) use ($positionFilter) {
                        $vacancyQ->where('position_id', $positionFilter);
                    });
            });
        });

        $query->when(! empty($statusFilters), function (Builder $q) use ($statusFilters) {
            $q->whereIn('application_status', $statusFilters);
        });

        return $query;
    }

Anyy advice regarding this?
