Dropdown fields not applying to query expression in \query record.

I have the following interface with 3 dropdowns.  When choices are selected in the dropdown boxes they do not apply to the query to filter out the grid display.

load(
  local!StatusLabels: {"Active","Inactive"},
  local!StatusValues: {"Active","Inactive"},
  local!SelectedStatus,
  local!StatusForFilter: "",
  local!SelectedPrefix,
  local!PrefixForFilter: "",
  local!SelectedPortfolio,
  local!PortfolioForFilter: "",
  local!pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(
    startIndex: 1,
    batchSize: 20,
    sort: a!sortInfo(
      field: "RequestNumber",
      ascending: true
    )
  ),
a!dashboardLayout(
  firstColumnContents: {
    a!sectionLayout(
      label: "Parameter Selection",
      firstColumnContents: {
        a!dropdownField(
          Label: "Status",
          instructions: "Select A Status: " & local!StatusForFilter,
          choiceLabels: local!StatusLabels,
          placeholderLabel: "---Select Status ---",
          choiceValues:local!StatusValues,
          value: local!SelectedStatus,
          saveInto: local!StatusForFilter
          ),
          a!dropdownField(
          Label: "Request Prefix",
          instructions: "Please Select a Prefix: " & local!PrefixForFilter ,
          choiceLabels: cons!consGDRSPrefixChoiceLabels,
