Hi there,

i have 2 custom post types A and B.
In A (admin) all values of B are selectable using relationship field.

Now i want to show only the values of B, which were created by the current logged in user. This applies to the wp backend.

*edit: Values of B should only be filtered for specified roles, an admin should see all values of B

Thanks in advance!

// this will effect all relationship fields
// if you only want to effect specific fields
// see https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-fields-relationship-query/
  add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/query', 'relationship_only_own_posts', 10, 3);
  function relationship_only_own_posts($args, $field, $post_id) {
    // update core is something only available to admin
    // or super admin on mutlisite
    // a lot less code than looking through roles
    if (current_user_can('update_core')) {
      // not on admin or editor
      return $args;
    }
    $author = get_current_user_id();
    $args['author'] = $author;
    return $args;
  }
