Ok, I think I understand. The key point seems to be that on a validation
fail you need to execute another action.
<result name="input" type="redirect-action">
determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput
</result>
You might want to try a Chain result [1] and action chaining [2]. I know
there are warnings about action chaining but this may be a good use of it.
