Hey there just searched the forum but found nothing to this topic.
Ok, with toolset i can edit my created custom post types from the front end. The author 1 (creator) of the post can edit, delete... even display his custom posts in a table.
So my question is: can the author 1 select other members (author 2, 3...) maybe by email address or username to also be a author of the post from author 1. So author 2,3... can also edit, delete this custom post type?

Hope this is understandable. Author 1 creates a ctp and can select others users to also be a author of this post type.

Cheers and thanks for your help!!!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can control the access to specific users using the Role. I do not know if you have installed the Toolset Access plugin which you can use to set permission to your desired post type based on role.

Please check following Docs - More info:

Hey Minesh,
Thsnks for your reply. This is not exactly what i was asking.
I need a select field where a user can select other users to also be the author of a cpt that this selected user can edit/delete the cpt.

Will this be able with relationships?
Therefore another question. I tried the relationship forms for a many to many relationship. Everything works fine. But i want to know how i can change your form field in maybe a bootstrap dropdown select .

Thanks ?

==> no, there is no such native feature exists. However, it can be achieved using the some Toolset access hook and custom code but unfortunately custom programming is beyond the scope of our support policy.

The only way to assign a single post author to a post is using Author field which you can activate by editing your post type. There is no way to assign multiple authors to post. Maybe you should look for a plugin that does this job.

Your second question - I'll answer with another ticket.
