@ceford @brianteeman @dautrich Could one of you guys test this PR again with the latest changes? That would be great. One test if it still works is sufficient..

Actually, I think there is a problem! Saving with the patch applied does work. But the list of filters has duplicate titles and there is no way to tell which is which. I seem to remember that other duplicates add the instance number to the title.
