✅

One way to enforce choices on ForeignKey fields on database level is to use limit_choices_to argument.
You cannot do this to restrict category because queryset depends on request.

But you can access request object in ModelForm. So you’ll have to override __init__ of ModelForm to define custom queryset for category.

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
     class Meta:
         model = Post

     def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
       user = kwargs.pop('user', None)
       super(PostForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

       self.fields['category'].queryset = Category.objects.filter(author=user)
