‘’Subselection’’ in value list

$

Hi everyone,

My title may be a bit obscure, so I’ll explain. I am using FM 16.

I have records that hold the results of ancestry research. Each record has one main person and several other persons. So sometimes person A is the main person in a record and ‘’another’’ person in a different record.

I have a portal that displays all the records. I’m filtering this portal using a global field and a value list. The problem I have is this: if I pick, say, person A in the dropdown list, what I’m getting in the portal is all the records where A is either the main person or ‘’another’’ person. I’d like to be able to filter the portal further by choosing, say when I select person A from the dropdown, whether I want the records where person A is the main person or only those where person A is ‘’another’’ person. I guess I could use a Case function in the filtering calculation of the portal, but how can set up the dropdown list so that it gives me two options when I select a name?

Thanks for your help.
