referenced_list does not respect entity specific baseApiUrl

I’m trying to build an admin interface that connects different admin API’s in one app. ng-admin is the perfect way to do that. So I’m having one main admin api that I configure when creating the app like this:

var admin = nga.application('Admin interface')
            .baseApiUrl(location.protocol + '//' + ENTITY1_ADMIN_API_HOST + (ENTITY1_ADMIN_API_PORT ? ':' + ENTITY1_ADMIN_API_PORT : '') + ENTITY1_ADMIN_API_BASE_PATH + '/')

I have added an admin provider for an entity served by this api like this:

app.config(function($provide, NgAdminConfigurationProvider, RestangularProvider) {
        $provide.factory("Entity1Admin", function() {
            var nga = NgAdminConfigurationProvider;
            var entity1 = nga.entity('entity1').readOnly();
            ...
}

Then I have another entity from a second admin API defined like this:

app.config(function($provide, NgAdminConfigurationProvider, ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_HOST, ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_PORT, ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_BASE_PATH) {
        $provide.factory("TwitterAdmin", function() {
            var nga = NgAdminConfigurationProvider;
            var entity2 = nga.entity('entity2').baseApiUrl(location.protocol + '//' + ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_HOST + (ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_PORT ? ':' + ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_PORT : '') + ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_BASE_PATH + '/');
            ...

So far so good. I’m able to build the admin interface for editing both entities. Now I want to link them using a referenced list, so I add this for the first entity:

            entity1.showView()
                .fields([
                    nga.field('metadata', 'referenced_list')
                        .targetEntity(nga.entity('entity2'))
                        .targetReferenceField('id_entity')
                        .targetFields([
                            nga.field('id').label('ID'),
                            nga.field('value').label('description')
                        ])
                        .permanentFilters({
                            entity: 'team' // display only the metadata relevant for entity1
                        })

that should show all results from entity2 related to entity1 with applying a filter.

It works for entities on the same host but in this case it tries to make make a connection to ENTITY1_ADMIN_API_HOST instead of ENTITY2_ADMIN_API_HOST as well which is wrong.

@pdhoward No, I use a ma-filtered-list-button now instead of the referenced_list so that I have at least a button pointing to the information which I wanted to show directly.

@dirkaholic method is the easiest way to achieve this purpose. Closing the issue.
