It is impossible to help you based on your description as it only states it does nor work for you, for the start copy the query you created.

the query  is in construction mode, in that case I just have to put the name of the table, #__categories, and the WHERE created_by = $user->id, but it does not show me the fields, why it does not give me the info?

Your query is not correct, you need to define text and value properties https://www.seblod.com/resources/extensions/archives/seblod-2-x-select-dynamic-field

SELECT title AS text, id AS value from #__categories 

should work. Otherwise there is something broken on your system.

In neither of these. I have added

// Set
$field->value = $value;

on line 533 and 534 of select_dynamic.php in \plugins\cck_field\select_dynamic. This is for version 3.17.1 (Seblod 3.17.1) If you use another version look in select_dynamic.php and find function onCCK_FieldPrepareSearch. Add the lines just before //Return like this:

// onCCK_FieldPrepareSearch
public function onCCK_FieldPrepareSearch( &$field, $value = '', &$config = array(), $inherit = array(), $return = false )
{
if ( self::$type != $field->type ) {
return;
}

// Init
if ( $field->bool3 ) {
$divider = $field->match_value ? $field->match_value : $field->divider;
$field->match_value = $divider;
if ( is_array( $value ) ) {
$value = implode( $divider, $value );
}

$field->divider = $divider;
} else {
$field->match_value = $field->match_value ? $field->match_value : ',';
}
self::onCCK_FieldPrepareForm( $field, $value, $config, $inherit, $return );

// Set
$field->value = $value;

// Return
if ( $return === true ) {
return $field;
}
}

I don't know. The table #__categories has a column created_user_id. You can retrieve those numbers. I don't know how to get the live user out of these.

I tested and there is no bug, everything works correctly - your problem is there is no "created_by" column in categories table, correct query which works is

SELECT title as text, id as value FROM #__categories WHERE created_user_id = $user->id
