Smart Folder View Filter is beyond unworkable

This absolutely needs to be step-driven, not a flat list.

I can’t navigate it, I can’t read it, and I most certainly cannot find the entry I need:

Is there any temporary way to work around this issue? Can I set the filter via API?

UPDATE:
I have managed to find and select the entry I need in DevTools.

@Matt_Blais can you provide guidance on how you managed this process?

I think we need at least a search bar to reduce the list but a step/tree structure would be the best solution!

To find the HTML source for the dropdown list, type Ctrl+Shift+C then click on the list. That should show the list source in the DevTools Elements pane.

In the DevTools Elements pane use Ctrl+F to find the specific list entry you need. Or if need be, copy the entire list’s HTML over to your text editor, and use the editor to locate the needed entry.

In the Elements pane again, find and select (click) the needed HTML element of the list (hopefully you can locate it with Ctrl-F); once it’s selected, in the Console pane type $0.click() to simulate manually clicking that list element.
