Bug Description

(edited per comments below)

In the Angular stat cat editors for items and patrons, the Entries interface shows the stat cat ID next to the Return button (screenshot attached). It would be helpful if the stat cat name displayed there instead, to avoid any confusion.

I think this is intentional. It looks like it's the database ID for the particular stat cat you're adding entries to.

The Hard Due Dates and Z39.50 Servers admin pages also have this.

It would be more useful if Evergreen displayed the name of the stat cat rather than the database ID.

From what I can see Hard Due Date also displays database ID but Z39.50 Servers shows the name of the source you are adding attributes to.

Jennifer, thank you for pointing that out! I agree that the name of the stat cat would be more helpful. I'll update the bug title and description.

I started looking at this, but I got stumped. It looks like this page is being displayed based on the basic template at admin/local/staff_portal_page/staff-portal-page.component.html so it could be used by multiple types of admin pages with multiple types of filters.

It looks like the on-screen text is just repeating the JSON snippet that is in the URL... so maybe the name of the filter (in this case, the stat cat title) could also be included in the URL and the page could display that? Or is it simply less confusing to not display the applied filters in the first place since they are not human-friendly?
