a Helper function to decode _id

[poirazis]

When working with forms / relationship pickers with SQL db , the numeric ids get encoded.
Often we need to grab an id from a form or a picker to pass to a custom query or filter, and we need the unencoded id.
this is not hard to do, with JS, but it so redundant that would be easier to have a helper funtion.

it would look like {{ decodeId Form.Relationship.0_id }}

you can curretnly decode it using

if ( val && val.length )
  return val[0]._id.substring(3, val[0]._id.length - 3)
