I hope at least in Craft 3 won't be the case ...

Still the same in 3.0.  Unlikely it'd make it into 3.x as it'd probably fit into this larger permissions refactoring: https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/1646  That likely wouldn't happen until Craft 4 since it'd be a breaking change.

<p>Well the issue is simple, I have a multi-user backoffice, where they use the same section and entry type to create a new entry.  The problem is when the current user (not the admin) tries to add an entry in the entries field, it display the list of all other users entries, but this is not the case when viewing the section from the dashboard.  The current user (except for the admin who sees all) only sees his own entries. Can I somehow make the entry field display the current user's only list of entries to chose from?</p>
