dev/core#1217 Fix for failure to respect event_id (or any?) criteria in smart groups
From what I can tell it's possible to create smart groups from Advanced search & other contact searchs & Membership Search & Event search.
Membership search actually just leverages advanced search but Event Search smart group has it's own code & reloads into Event search.
This has been flawed for months but the current iteration is the criteria are not respected. On digging I found the decision was made in
contact search to store the parsed QueryParams (in [field_name, 'IN', [1,2]] format not the formValues. I think this was probably a mistake.
However, by adjusting the event code to do the same & ensuring the defaults are set it starts working again
