Two steps are needed to enable this filter:

  1. The standard New button on the Call List Members page layout is overridden, so that a different page pops up when that button is used. The Contact lookup field on this page responds to configuration set up in a new Custom Metadata Type.
  2. A new Custom Metadata Type is added. As a result, that Contact field will show only selected Contact types.
