Problem:
limit parent drop down by author on Toolset child form with parent field
Solution:
You can use the attribute author="$current" so that the select dropdown only includes parent posts authored by the current user for your parent dropdown select.
I am trying to: I have a one to many relationship set up between two cpts 'clients' and 'estimates'. There is a drop down to select the client on the post form that allows you to create new estimates. Currently it displays all clients, I need it to only display clients that were authored by the logged in user.

I found this support thread which directly address the topic:
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Well - You can use the attribute author="$current" so that the select dropdown only includes parent posts authored by the current user for your parent dropdown select.
I've added the attribute as given under:
[cred_field field='@client-estimate.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' author="$current" select_text='--- not set ---']
Can you please confirm it works for you as expected.
author Optional. Use it with a parent selector field to specify that the list of parent posts should be limited to those authored by the mentioned user ID. The value $current can be used to define that the current user should only see their own parent posts in a dropdown.
