## Description

### Excerpt from the parent ticket

The backlog container filter panels (AGILE-176) submit GET forms with hidden-field passthrough. The param shape is dictated by Rails form arrays (`bucket_ids[]=…`) and cannot be controlled, and the panel semantics are constrained by native submission. 

This implementation ticket changes the format of `bucket_ids` and `sprint_ids` to align with the advanced filter params on the backlogs page. ie:

*   `backlog_ids=["1", "2", "3"]`
    
*   `sprint_ids="1"`
    

The advantage of this format, is that it can be easily converted between string and json formats using `JSON.parse`, `JSON.stringify` and `["1"].to_json` on the ruby side.
