History: User Preference Field
Preview of version: 18
Since Tiki >= 2.0
This field allows you to be able to change user preferences value directly from a tracker.
The value of the field will be taken from the user preferences, 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 fields.
