Verify Filter: capture reference id and capture uuid filters are broken

This might be caused by double-conversion of the where object described here.

I checked it on the dev environment and found that both filters work but only if you enter an exact match. @gwynndp Is it a desired behaviour or not?
Also, I found that if I put part of the id to the 'capture uuid' filter, I get an error from the backend (""id" must be a valid GUID") which is not handled, and the user sees a spinner which is not hiding. @nmcharlton Should we maybe add an error message to the UI or should it be fine to search by only the part of the id?

These are slightly odd fields to have in a filter, as they're really lookups that return 0 or 1 matches.
Partial match doesn't really make sense here, since they're system-generated IDs.

The use case for querying by ID like this is extracting the capture ID from another page on the Admin Panel or another system and finding the capture details for inspection or verification. The future workflow will be to encode the filter in the URL so we can link directly with no copying and pasting, including from external systems.

The UX needs to change to reflect this – it's still very basic for most fields. For the UUID in particular, the user should not be able to submit a query with an invalid UUID.

Our error handling from a UX perspective also needs some work. We seem to ignore a lot of errors and just leave the user hanging like this. There are two existing issues that cover this: #473 and #936.

@OlhaD This isn't working for me on https://dev-admin.treetracker.org.
Do you have it working in your workspace with the filter conversion fix?
If so, are you happy for me to assign this to you?

[OlhaD]

@nmcharlton Just double-checked: it doesn't work for me as well. Please, assign it to me.

[OlhaD]

@nmcharlton You are right, it was fixed in the scope of #888.
