Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to show current users posts in child posts select box in Cred Post form

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have created parent child relationship by toolset documentation and its working fine but I need help on other topic.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
For example I have showed child posts in select box like [cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_certification_id' value='' select_text='--- not set ---' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='ID'] in form. Its showing all the custom posts but I want to show only current users posts in select box.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - to display only current user parents:

1) - add following hidden field just before your parent dropdown shortcode:
For example:

<input type="hidden" id="parents_id" value="[get-parents]" /> 
[cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_certification_id' value='' select_text='--- not set ---' class='form-control' output='bootstrap'] 

2)
Add [get_parents] shortcode to your current theme's functions.php file. Please add following code to your functions.php file:

function get_parents($atts) {
    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    $author_query = array('post_type' => 'certification', 'posts_per_page' => '-1','author' => $current_user->ID,);
    $author_posts = new WP_Query($author_query);
    $parent_ids = "";
    while($author_posts->have_posts()) : $author_posts->the_post();
        $parent_ids .= get_the_ID() .",";
    endwhile;
     
    return $parent_ids;
}
add_shortcode('get-parents', 'get_parents');

3)
In your CRED form's JS box, try to add following code:

jQuery('document').ready(function(){
     
var post_parents = jQuery('#parents_id').val();
     
var arr = post_parents.split(',');
       
  jQuery("[name=_wpcf_belongs_certification_id] > option").each(function() {
         
    var option_val = jQuery(this).val();
         
     if( jQuery.inArray(option_val, arr) == -1 && option_val != -1 ){
       jQuery(this).remove();
     }
  });
       
});

I hope above steps will help you to resolve your issue.

Hi Minesh,

Thanks for the prompt response but its not working at my end. I have added the function in theme's functions.php and jQuery and hidden input fields as well in toolset form as mentioned. Users Posts are not updating in hidden field. Please check attached screenshot for more clarification. Please let me know if you need any details from my side?

I see the shortcode [get-parents] is not parsed.

Could you please try to register shortcode "get-parents" at and check if that help you to resolve your issue:
=> Toolset => Settings => Frontend content Tab => Third-party shortcode arguments
