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

When I encountered this, I solved it by overriding the $this->lists or use 'list' => $associated_title_model->getItems();
$associated_title_model would be a model from what you need and then adding wheres and such: $model->addWhere('a.created_by='.(int)$user->id)

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
