Adding values to filter category in fragment

I have a master view which I have added a filter button to via the settings area.  I have created a fragment that will contain a dialog for a filter.

The fragment is in XML as follows:

<core:FragmentDefinition xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns="sap.m">  <ViewSettingsDialog id="dialogFilter" cancel="handleCancel" confirm="handleConfirm" resetFilters="handleResetFilters">  <filterItems id="filterItemsId">  <ViewSettingsCustomItem id="idCustomFilterItem" key="myFilter" text="Employee Name">  <customControl>  <VBox>  <List id="filterlist" items="{path: '/ZHR_S_ATTR_Set'}" mode="{device>/listMode}" noDataText="{i18n>masterListNoDataText}" select="onSelect">  <items id="EENameList">  <CustomListItem>  <Text text="{EMP_Name}"/>  </CustomListItem>  </items>  </List>  </VBox>  </customControl>  </ViewSettingsCustomItem>  </filterItems>  </ViewSettingsDialog></core:FragmentDefinition>

Essentially, I want a filter category of Employee Name and the values of Employee Name I would like to retrieve from the entity set /ZHR_S_ATTR_SET and the field EMP_Name.

The dialog itself is working, when I click on the filter button I get the following:

But when I click on Employee Name, I don't have any values:

I have tried various ways through XML and have also attempted to add items to the filter category through the master controller, but no luck.

Looking for some guidance, should I not be using a list here?

Is there a way to achieve this purely through XML?

If it has to be done through JavaScript in the controller, how can I achieve it?

I've tried something like the this:

But then I haven't been able to find a way to bind this to my control.
