component condition for reduced model quantity

^^^ bump for more votes ^^^

This comes up quite often for me. The solution is the same each time.

  1. Create a series of conditions on the model for each set of data I’d like to get on the page in different components.
  2. Add the components to the page using this model.
  3. Go into the XML to Cut and Paste the Conditions from the model into the appropriate components.
It would be great if I could simply create Conditions directly in the component. Essentially a secondary set of Conditions to further filter the initial model query.

Especially useful when a page has multiple record types for one particular object for a series of related records on a detail page.
