I think what you may be looking at is Search Menus with an external qualification.. Have you used EXTERNAL() in your qualifications in any of your previous work?
If you have a test case or two of what you really want to do I may be able to guide you further..

The results, I would want to become available in a drop down, kind of like the Operational tiers, when you select first tier the second becomes available.

Are you looking to perform a search Based on the selection of the INC Status? So if 'In Progress' is selected do you want the system to return results that contain records that have the App Status of 'Approoved', 'Scheduled' and 'BreakFix'?? If so depending on where you want that search result to be returned to, (Results List or Table Field) I do not think it is really hard to build an external qualification that does it? Wouldn't you be looking at creating an external qualificaton that could be used in the table field or results list that would build the qualication against the App Status on selection of the INC Status? I think its as simple as that.. Or have I understood what you want to do wrong? Sorry more questions than answers - so if I have understood you wrong please try and explain what exactly you are aiming for..

Heres the story. I currently have on my Helpdesk form the INC Status field that has the normal status' and an APP Status field which has other Process status' for example. Approve, Scheduled, Awaiting release, Breakfix, Go-live, No-Go etc. I also have another form with APP Status and INC Status. I save entries of APP status with a particular INC status. For Ex. APP Status INC Status Approve In Progress Scheduled In Progress BreakFix In Progress Awaiting rel Pending Go Live Resolved Now I'm trying to get the APP status on the Helpdesk form to filter out what matches to the INC status that is selected. Basically I should be able to select INC Status of "In Progress" and It should show me three items. I think the selection field is the problem, I may need a character field instead and then map a menu to it. Or continue with my AL somehow.... Any ideas.
