Now that instance\_filters has been removed as a parameter from the tower\_inventory\_source module how do you set the instance filter when using this module. This parameter used to accepted the inventory primary key or its named URL slug.

It was removed in this commit [https://github.com/ansible/awx/commit/f32716a0f14d1c63e9a668ed7bfba59488f5a50f#diff-6e3f61cc4874587069e86b17d99403959201389e77414d48d44e1418b8f35820](https://github.com/ansible/awx/commit/f32716a0f14d1c63e9a668ed7bfba59488f5a50f#diff-6e3f61cc4874587069e86b17d99403959201389e77414d48d44e1418b8f35820) but I don’t see any mention of it’s replacement. I see host\_filter has been added as a new parameter so maybe that is the replacement but what would the format be?
