This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a Form that edits a parent post type. This parent post type has two different child post types. I would like to show a single select field containing all the child posts from both post types, and allow Users to select one parent and one child to associate with one another.
Solution: There's nothing exactly like this built in to Forms. You might be able to achieve something similar with custom code. Use a View to populate a generic select field with parent posts. Use another View to populate a generic select field with child posts from both post types. Then use the PHP APIs to link the two posts programmatically.
