History: User Preference Field
Preview of version: 15
tikiwiki >= 2.0
This field allows you to be able to change user preferences directly from a tracker.
The value of the field will be taken from the user preference, and if the field is changed the value will be changed. This permits, for example, for a user to change his password in the same screen as the rest of the User Tracker.
