Populate SelectionEditor with childpages
You need to let your SelectionFactory know where you want to find your children.
I think doing a GetChildren would work better than the ContentSelectionFactory from the blog post you refer to.
See these links for some inspiration

Thank you for your reply. I will probably try it if we need it. For now, we acctually decided that we could live with the fact that you could choose articles from another archive, as only one article will show up on our startpage as featured anyways. However, if our client disagrees, I will try what you said and come back to you if it worked or not.

Hi.
I have a page with a PageReference property that has an EditorDescriptor and a custom annotation to make it appear as a drop down list to editors. I got the code from here: http://joelabrahamsson.com/limiting-content-and-page-reference-properties-to-values-of-a-specific-type-in-episerver-cms/.
It works perfectly fine in the cases I want ALL pages of a given pagetype to be in the drop down list, but I have not figured out a way to populate it with only childpages. An example use case is this:
I have a pagetype called ArticleArchive. Each ArticleArchive has children of type ArticlePage. Furthermore, I have a property in the ArticleArchivePage type, that should hold a featured ArticlePage. Here I only want to be able to choose from ArticlePages that are children of the given ArticleArchive, but as it is now, I aslo get to choose pages from other ArticleArchives...
Anyone god any ideas on this?
