I have a form with a post relationship field. I want to restrict the selectable options to those related to the author.

For example, I have a post form that let’s the user submit a repair ticket for a property.

The form has a post relationship field linking it to a property, and I want the post relationship form to restrict the options as follows:
If you are a renter, you can only choose the property you are currently renting.
If you are a property owner, you can only choose from among the properties you own.

I've tried looking through the documentation but couldn’t make any progress.

Is it possible to do something like this? If so, could you point me in the right direction?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can use the attribute author="$current" so that the parent dropdown only includes parent posts whose author is the current user.

For example:

[cred_field field='@client-estimate.parent' author="$current" class='form-control' output='bootstrap'  select_text='--- not set ---']
