Grid Filter not submitting param values

Question

I have a basic grid, and I have added some filters to columns. I added them in the constructor like so, since some of them use stores

constructor: function(config) {
        Ext.apply(this, {
            features : [{
                ftype: 'filters',
                encode: true,
                local: false,
                filters: [{
                    type: 'string',
                    dataIndex: 'name'
                },{
                    type: 'string',
                    dataIndex: 'priority'
                },{
                    type: 'list',
                    store: Ext.getStore('adminCategory'),
                    dataIndex: 'adminOrg',
                    labelField: 'displayName'
                },{
                    type: 'list',
                    store: Ext.getStore('adminClientList'),
                    dataIndex: 'client',
                    labelField: 'name',
                    listeners: {
                        activate: function(obj, eOpts) {
                            console.log(obj);
                        }
                    }
                }]
           }]
      });
      this.callParent(arguments);

The menu items load just fine, however when the filter activates, and starts to load the store, the filter params are not present, so they aren't submitted to the server.

I checked the beforeload event on the store, and the filters array is empty (in the operations object where all the sorter info is stored too).

The filtersfeature doesn't store the filter info in the same place as the default filters go. I don't know why, but it doesn't. In the same object you found the filters and sorters arrays, look in the params property, there should be a property in params called filter. That will contain the filters. By default, I believe all the filters are encoded into a json string, so if you want them as an array, you'll have to use Ext.decode.
