This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user is using a custom field to save a user id and would like to create a form that has a dropdown list of users.
Solution:
To pull the options of a select field from the database, be it users, custom posts, or other content, we'll need to hook into Toolset and fill the options with custom code. Check this previous ticket that is trying to pull data from a custom post type.
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/add-select-field-to-users-from-a-custom-post-data/
add_filter('option_wpcf-fields', 'fill_my_users');
function fill_my_users($fields) {
foreach ($fields as &$field) {
if ($field['id'] == 'your-field-slug') {
$field["data"]["options"] = array();
$users = get_users();
foreach ($users as $user) {
$key = $field["id"] . $user->user_login;
$field["data"]["options"][$key] = array(
"title" => $user->user_login,
"value" => $user->ID
);
}
}
}
return $fields;
}

Tell us what you are trying to do?
So i have an existing site that utilizes custom fields that i'm trying to migrate over to Toolset. I've succeeded in moving the majority of the old custom fields over by exporting them to CSV, re-importing them and then linking them to the new custom fields i created in Toolset via their slugs. One field is giving me trouble though, which is a dropdown field (that exists on the original site) that shows all users so that you can link the 'Member' (a custom post) to an Associated User. I've attached an image on how it works/looks on the old site, and in the CSV export of that custom field it gives me a numerical value which i assume is the user ID (usually something between 10-900). Unfortunately i'm not sure how to implement that into the Toolset Dropdown option (also attached) where i can only input Display Text and Custom Field content. Is there a way to replicate this?
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Not currently.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
The only existing example i have is what the old site uses, which is in the image attached (names blurred for privacy)
What is the link to your site?
The site is hosted locally so i have no link.
