Query filter on custom post by current author in post widget for elementor query id

I am using post widget in elementor pro. Idea is to show all posts by a specific custom post type. Now, I want to apply also some filters in particular I want to show only posts in a particular status (ie, "draft") and those created ("post author") by the user logged in.

I have been able to create a query for status and pass the query id (my_query_by_post_status), this is the case:

add_action( 'elementor/query/my_query_by_post_status', function( $query ) {
$query->set( 'post_status', ['draft'] );
}   );

But I don't know how to add a condition to say "only for author same as the current user logged in".

Can anybody help me in this? I really appreciate and thank you in advance. Mario.

Sorted by: Reset to default 0

get current user id using get_current_user_id() (will return 0 if no user logged in)

$current_user = get_current_user_id();

if($current_user != 0){
  $query->set( 'author', [$current_user] );
}
