I am trying to: Add a custom User Field and want a select which is populated from another custom post field. I've searched all the documentation but can't find how to achieve this.

Dear Jon,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Types plugin, if you agree we can take it as a feature request.

Yes, please add that in a future release.

Just to clarify a bit further. I have created a CPT for towns. The admin can create whatever towns they want. When someone registers on the site, I want them to see a dropdown select which contains all the towns already entered and then store their selected choice.

Is there another way to achieve this?

Yes, in your case, you can try with Types filter hook "wpt_field_options", for example the solution in another similar thread:
