This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The problem here is that the user wanted to dynamically populate their select field with the information of another post type.
Solution:
This can be done by using the function below.
// Put the code of your snippet below this comment.
add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'func_dynamic_populate', 10, 3);
function func_dynamic_populate( $options, $title, $type ){
switch( $title ){
case 'winery-select': //select field slug goes here
$options = array();
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'wineries',
'post_status' => 'publish');
$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
foreach ($posts_array as $post) {
$options[] = array(
'#value' => $post->ID,
'#title' => $post->post_title,
);
}
break;
}
return $options;
}

Hi Shane, thanks for your quick reply!
So, I gave the function the "wineries" post_type slug and put the slug of the custom field I'd like data to be pulled from ('winery').
How is the function going to recognize I want it to dynamically populate the options of my select custom field now ('Winery-select')? How do I connect the function with my custom select field?
This is my snippet code:
<?php
/**
* Dynamic content for 'Winery-select' custom select field in custom Post type. */
toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );
add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'func_dynamic_populate', 10, 3);
function func_dynamic_populate( $options, $title, $type ){
switch( $title ){
case 'winery':
$options = array();
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'wineries',
'post_status' => 'publish');
$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
foreach ($posts_array as $post) {
$options[] = array(
'#value' => $post->ID,
'#title' => $post->post_title,
);
}
break;
}
return $options;
}
Thanks,
Luciana
