  This is what the filterOptions property is for on the relationship field.
  You will return a query on your projects field's filterOptions to only get the projects equal to the organization ID that is selected from your data or siblingData.

  Okay, that is helpful. I've been in that part of the docs and have the following:

  {
        name: 'projects',
        type: 'relationship',
        relationTo: 'projects',
        filterOptions: ({ siblingData }) => {
          return {
            'id': { equal: siblingData.organization }
          }
        },
  },
  

  Hope you are staying warm in the Michigan snowstorm!

  Okay, I have it working now with the following:

  const projectsField = {
    name: 'project',
    admin: {
      position: 'sidebar'
    },
    type: 'relationship',
    relationTo: 'projects',
    filterOptions: ({ siblingData }) => {
      return {
        'organization': { equals: siblingData.organization }
      }
    },
  };
  

  The only issue is that I have to save the record first and it only filters after clicking save.

  I'm also wondering if the newly announced use-context-selector (https://payloadcms.com/blog/launch-week-day-4) might be of help in this scenario?

  Thanks for the update. That issue is something we need to address. Would you want to create a new issue for it?

  I had to help a friend get their truck with snow plow this evening and it was terrible out; less than 10 feet of visibility on the interstate. Definitely pretty from indoors but not safe otherwise.
