Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a project submission CPT that is linked in O2M relationship with project prompt CPT.
An expert user role can create project prompts and a professional role can create project prompts.
A user can create a project submission using a project prompt (through urlparam) but can also go directly to the create project submission form and select a project prompt.
For the later, I want the drop down to select project prompt (a relationship field) to only show project prompts from expert user type and current user. I can get the current user with the radio button that allows me to only select posts from current author. But how can I create a dropdown that shows prompts from both experts and current user?

Hello,

I assume you are going to display project posts(which author user role is "experts") + post's author is current user as options of parent "project" selector.
If it is, there isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset Forms, you might consider custom codes to setup a HTML select dropdown to replace it.

And you can add a feature request for it, our developers will evaluate it:
