When you start iterating through your inner query, it "loses its place" in
the first query - meaning, referencing a column from the outtermost query
and expecting it to know what row it is on. Like referencing query.column
outside of a query loop, it defaults to the first row's value. You should
save the column value in a local variable before entering the inner query
loop:
<cfset thisDecisionID = getReviewers.decisionID>
<CFLOOP query="getDCodes">
<option value="#decID#"
<CFIF getDCodes.decisionID EQ
thisDecisionID>selected</cfif>
