I want an FK field on a form to only list records created by the logged in user. This is working fine for filters, but seems to be missing from FK fields.

It is worth noting that this is one of my two remaining legacy projects (not ORM)

Here is what I have

	<?php
	// Associated Title
	$field = $fieldSet['jform_associated_title'];
	$field->jdomOptions = array(
		'groupBy' => array(
			'type' => 'type'
		),

		'created_by' => $this->item->created_by, /// THIS WAS ADDED BY ME
		'list' => $this->lists['fk']['associated_title']
	);
	?>
	<div class="control-group <?php echo 'field-' . $field->id . $field->responsive; ?>">
		<div class="control-label">
			<?php echo $field->label; ?>
		</div>

		<div class="controls">
			<?php echo $field->input; ?>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php echo(MyComponentHelperHtmlValidator::loadValidator($field)); ?>

The cretaed by filter was added by me thinking it would work. but it doesnt. Is there an option I can use in the JDom options to filter the FK Select field (single choice) by the logged in users records like the filter dropdown does

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
