On all our environments we decided to stop synchronisation of the page tests (aka A/B test). However there is a synchronisation on each item on the field "__Content test", which links it to the correct test.
It's not an option for us to disable syncing the item itself, so the field keeps getting overwritten with each deployment. I started investigating and found some articles on a ConfigurationFieldFilter. Implemented like this into the default Unicorn.config:
<fieldFilter type="Rainbow.Filtering.ConfigurationFieldFilter, Rainbow" singleInstance="true">
<exclude fieldID="{700F4AAD-AD3B-4058-8673-A0CEE765A1F7}" note="'__Content test' field on Standard Template" />
</fieldFilter>
However, when deployed, this still keeps overwriting the field. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Are there other solutions to my problem? Any help is appreciated!

======UPDATE======:
According to the official Unicorn documentation on FieldFilter:
Field Filter
The Field Filter is a way to exclude certain fields from being controlled by Unicorn. Note that the control is not complete in that the value of ignored fields is never stored; it is stored and updated when other fields' values that are included change. However it is never deserialized or considered in the evaluator, and thus the value is effectively ignored.
So the full item is synchronised after any synchronised field has changed... Are there any other solutions on how to remove that specific field from synchronisation?
