I have created some custom user fields, the more relevant to this issue are: "Reports to" (Select) and "Supervises staff" (Checkbox).
I want to populate the first one with the list of users for whom the second field is checked.
I was able to populate the first field with the list of all users, using code form a different support request. I used the wpt_field_options filter and the get_users function.
Perhaps I only need to know how to filter in the get_users function based on custom fields, but just in case I include the whole story to provide context.

Hi, here's an example showing how to use the meta_key argument in get_users: https://pippinsplugins.com/retrieve-users-based-on-meta-value/
And the rest of the documentation is here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users

For a custom field created in Types, the meta_key should be "wpcf-" plus the slug of the field from wp-admin. If you edit the custom field in Types > Custom Fields > User Fields, you should be able to find the field slug. You should also look at "Value to store" here, to determine the correct meta_value. Usually for a single checkbox, the meta_value will be "1" unless you set something custom.
