Description

I started using QueryBuilder as a starting point for a custom control I am working on.
It's working great and I have been able to do most of what I hoped, however I justed noticed a problem with using
chosen-selectpicker + unique-filter

I created a little demo (based on someone elses demo) to illustrate the problem.
https://codepen.io/jakeb16/pen/bGLRjPQ

If you click "add a rule:" then change the first rule Name to Category (you shouldn’t even be able to do this since category is marked as unique)
You get the JavaScript error (Uncaught UndefinedFilterError: Undefined filter "null")

If you remove the chosen-selectpicker plugin it works fine.

I'll look and see if I can figure out what's causing this but thought I would post to see if anyone else has an idea.

Research direction

Start with the CodePen reproduction and compare the behavior with and without the chosen-selectpicker plugin. Trace how the unique-filter handles changing the first rule to Category, then verify that the JavaScript error is gone and Category cannot be selected when the fix is complete.
