-----------------------------------------

Hey Jacques,

I've discovered that the functionality provided by my patch actually already 
implemented although in a different way.  

I wanted to apply a filter to the dropdown results of a LookupField and wasn't 
aware how to do it at the time.  Now I've determined that the functionality is 
being used OOTB for the product lookup field of the Purchase Order form to 
limit drop down results to products only associated with the supplier.  The 
LookupSupplierProduct screen uses the "andCondition" field to apply the filter 
to the dropdown results.

The main difference with my script is that parameters only have to be specified 
in the lookupFormField url in order to be applied to as filters.  Without it, 
the "andCondition" field must be set to an EntityCondition created for the 
parameter that was passed in by URL. 

I think the existing functionality is better than the patch that I created 
because it allows for more control over how conditions should be applied.  My 
code would create and EQUALS condition for all parameters where as 
"andCondition" field allows for some of those parameters to be applied as LIKE 
or other types of conditions.

I think this issue can be closed.
