Post type select field renders a searchable Select 2 field that will provide a list of post type titles when a user has typed at least two characters (the values will be loaded dynamically). Similar to the Datalist field. Supports multiple choice.
The field uses AJAX to load the values dynamically, so depending on your configuration, there may be some latency before the results are presented to the user. Uses the Search Parameter of the WP_Query
class on the back end.
