Can I get the current WhereFilter in a ListMenuItem?

Hey @minor carbon
Is this in the Edit view or List view?
I think there are helpers for this
minor carbon
@vague ice In List View. All the code I find is using DocumentDrawers, but I can't out how for example the query preset gets the Wherefilter when you create new.
minor carbon
Yes, that's it. Thank you!

My pleasure my treasure

@vague ice If I now want to manipulate the query and fetch the data. Should I initialize a new payload instance with getPayload or use the usePayloadAPI hook or is there another way to retrieve the payload instance?
vague ice
Is this in a client component? Because you cannot get the payload instance in there, have to use either a server action, typical fetch for REST api, or custom endpoint
In server components you can use the req passed into your component
minor carbon
In a server component I would not be able to use useListQuery I suppose.
Thanks again.
vague ice
No, but you could wrap a client component in a server component for the best of both worlds
minor carbon
@vague ice Server actions work for me for now. But I wonder how it would be with your example. Do you mean
<ServerComponent>
<ClientComponent />
</ServerComponent>
```?
My ClientComponent is a Button, but in this way it is not displayed. So I probably have to wrap the button with another client component? How do I pass the query from `useListQuery` back to the server component to perform the task? In my case: create an excel file for download ? Afaik data can be passed from server component to client component, but not back again.
