Which is why I asked what Hans is really trying to accomplish.

I didn't say anything about a party not being able to be both a lead and a contact, just trying to figure out why he wants to distinguish them.

If it is a standard sales prospect progression then parties in each step would pretty much always be in the previous step as well, meaning if you want those that are in a certain step but not in the next step, you have to explicitly exclude those in the next step.

Still, the last paragraph is a guess and Hans would have to be more specific about what he's trying to do.

Then that would put an arbitrary restriction on roles. A party could be both a lead and a contact.

I don't really like the idea of "primary role", as roles don't
really
work that way.

If you don't want a party showing up on a list of leads and contacts,
then they shouldn't have both the lead and contact roles...

Could you be more specific about what you're trying to do here?
