Using Filter by Author at ArticlesField

Husi's Avatar Husi
I have this configuration:
Category "Jobs" and Category "Company"

User "Carsten" is the owner of article "Carsten´s Company" (Category 'Company')
User "Carsten" is the owner of articles "Frontend-Developer" and "Backend-Developer" (Category 'Jobs')

I want to connect Carsten´s Jobs with Carsten´s Company.
-> No problem with ArticlesField.

But now I set the filter "Author" -> "Actual Author", cause I want the logged-in User only to add HIS job´s to his company.
This works well, too.

BUT: Me as SuperAdmin is not able to edit the field from backend. Means I cannot put Jobs to the Company, cause I get "no entry found" at ArticlesField. I think cause my SuperAdmin-Account doesn´t match to article´s author.

But in my opinion (Super)Administrator musst be able to add Jobs to any Article (for sure only Carsten´s Job to Carsten´s Company)


What do you think?

Thanks
Carsten

There is no "Actual Author" option. Just a "Current user" option.
So that will list all the articles created by the person editing the article.
If you are logged in as the super administrator, it will show you all articles created by the super administrator.

Sorry - yes, that is what I mean.
But for sure it would be cool to be able to edit everything, when I am SuperAdmin and have all rights.

So well, I think I cannot use this function. Great for the frontend-using, cause it does, what I need. But not usable, when SuperAdmin has no chance to edit everything.
