A recent post to the Get Help category by @leobrimblecombe ([Picklist as a subset of a table](https://speciforum.org/t/picklist-as-a-subset-of-a-table/4026)) sparked a request to allow a user to filter or customize the result set of a particular query combo box field. For example, restricting an Agent-based query combo box field to only Agents of a certain type.

A GitHub discussion has been opened for this, [#8428](https://github.com/specify/specify7/discussions/8428), but we are also interested to know if other users are looking for this capability as well.
