Couldn't reproduce

We began by testing the filter functionality by switching between different containers and creating new ones with restricted content types. In all cases, the filter worked as expected locally, and we were unable to reproduce the issue.

To further investigate, we collaborated with @zJaaal to attempt to reproduce the issue in the environment where it was originally reported. Upon analyzing the page's API response, we discovered that a system container was unexpectedly appearing in the container structure, even though it wasn’t placed in the defined layout. This caused the content pallet to display content types allowed for both the specified containers and this system container.

Despite our efforts, we were unable to reproduce this condition on other pages locally or in different environments.

Workaround: As a workaround, the page can be recreated without specifying the system container.

Closing the issue, as we were unable to reproduce it.
