[Resolved] Filter items in post relationship fields on author = current user

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
When selecting parent posts in a CRED form to publish child posts it would be a useful feature to be able to only show parent posts authored by the current user.

Solution:
This currently requires custom code, but will be added as a built-in feature with the new post relationships coming with Types 3.0. It won't appear in the very first release, but in an update soon afterwards.

I would like a feature in CRED to filter post relationship fields, to only show posts where the author = current user.
It would be great if there was a on/off checkbox for this filter, when you add the post relationship field to the form.

Example.
User role "Organizer" can create "Events" and "Artists". When they create an "Artist" via a CRED frontend form they must select which "Event" the "Artist" belongs to. They are however not allowed to connect the "Artist" to an "Event" that they haven't created themselves.

Hi Tina

I have helped others with something similar before and it gets a little messy with the involvement of the select2 js library used when there are potentially many parent posts to choose from, so having such a feature built-in is a very sensible idea.

I have passed it on to Beda who is currently handling requests (in preparation for a public system where you will be able to vote on requests).
