Issue/Introduction

Description:

When you create a Filter Portlet and use the OBS Project Filter Browse as a field it will not filter on a Portlet based on the Project object.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new Filter Portlet
2. Add a field based on the OBS Projects Filter Browse Lookup (Lookup ID = OBS_BROWSE_FLT_PRJ)
3. Create a Portlet based on the Project Object
4. Add both portlets to a Portlet Page (filter portlet added through Page Filters)
5. Filter on the OBS Projects Filter Browse field from the Filter Portlet

See Screenshots

Expected Result: The Filter Portlet should filter the results for the other portlets on the page using the OBS criteria specified.
Actual Result: No filtering is accomplished from the Filter Portlet.

Solution:

Workaround:
Use portlet-specific filtering for selecting results based on OBS criteria.
