WooPayments screens are not identifiable with `get_current_screen()` – generic screen ID used for all screens

[nagpai]

A unique screen ID for each admin page is very important for various use cases notably:

• To conditionally execute code for a specific screen
• To accurately track it using tools such as track tickets, tracks events, or any similar analytics tool.

WordPress core and WooCommerce have a unique screen ID for each admin page that can be sought using the get_current_screen() function. However, we have a discrepancy within almost all WooPayments admin pages.

Running get_current_screen()->id within any of the inner admin pages of WooPayments ( e.g. Payments -> Transactions , Payments -> Payouts , and Payments->Disputes) , does not give a unique screen ID, but rather returns - woocommerce_page_wc-admin . This is not unique and does not give us an accurate depiction of where the function was called.

Notes

• The usage of unique screen ID instead of extrapolating it with query parameters came up in a review on another PR, where we were implementing a track event.

Noting that this applies to all WooPayments screens, not just "reporting". If/when we fix this we should ensure all our screens are identifiable.
