I am trying to: populate a Custom Post Select Field (author) with the values (options) taken from the WP Users database. This way, this CPT will always be up-to-date rather then we would have to add a name to the CPT every time a new WP User is added to/removed from the website.

Hi Kristof,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Unfortunately this will need to be done manually. The only other solution is to write some custom code in order to populate the custom fields with the users.

Writing custom code is currently out of the scope of our support forum and I would recommend that you contact one of our certified partners in order to get this done for you.

You can contact them by going to the link below.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Too bad that is not possible, it is default functionality in the current Drupal site we are migrating from. Will have to find another way around this, currently no extra budget available for another programmer.
