Custom button in ActiveAdmin

On ActiveAdmin, I have a form like this: Note that "My thingy" is not on the DB, but calculated with the data from an API. enter image description here

I want to add a filter for this field. What I'd like is to send this abc text as a parameter to the same edit action in which I am.

enter image description here

My form looks like this:

form do |f|
  f.inputs "Details" do
    f.input :my_thingy,
      label: 'My thingy',
      as: :select,
      collection: my_thingys,
    f.input :my_thingy_filter, label: "Filter My thingy by..."
    f.button :filter
  end
  f.actions
end

What I'd like is for this button to redirect to the same page, with the value of my_thingy_filter as a parameter.

How can I do that?

I solved this using a member_action: 

member_action :thingy_filter, method: :patch do
  redirect_to edit_thingy_path(resource, thingy_filter: params["thingy"]["thingy_filter"])
end

And formaction with the button:

form do |f|
  f.inputs "Details" do
    f.input :my_thingy,
      label: 'My thingy',
      as: :select,
      collection: my_thingys,
    f.input :my_thingy_filter, label: "Filter My thingy by..."
    f.button "Filter", formaction: "thingy_filter"
  end
  f.actions
end

Anyhow, this problem was better solved by adding a better select
