FlowFilter not working properly with the pageScripting

[scholtz]

1. Describe the bug

when doing page scripting with the FlowFilter field, it cannot create valid page scripting script which can be replayed. Furthermore the whole component is not working so even poping up the search window on this field is not working. We tried even different combination of the direct editation of tha page script but nothing worked and no test is passing through.

2. To Reproduce

Video demonstrating the issue: https://youtu.be/Rv55YDd83ag

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start page script recording
2. Go to 'Requisition Worksheets'
3. Go to calculate Plan
4. In location filter type VLASTDOP.
5. Stop recording
6. Close everything, make sure to start from the same starting point
7. Play recording
8. The recording fails at the inserting input to the location filter.

Note: We are doing big migration project from older version of BC, we have 2 MSFT partners working with us, and noone knows how to go around this issue. We want to have automated tests to ensure the QA, but a lot of processes we have are failing on this inability to go through FlowFilter fields.

3. Expected behavior
The recorded pagescript will be able to be played without the error.

Or we expect to be able to modify the pagescript file with some automationId or anything that could continue processing the tests.

4. Actual behavior
The page script fails on replay of recorded pagescript.
