Question

Hi, When creating a new form, I would like to have a field say "owner" which should be of type "select". The valid choices for this must the list of valid/registered TWikiUsers. Some possible use cases would be say when I like to assign a bug, I would like to make sure that the person to whom I am assigning is valid.

Is there anyway(variable) that I could use to populate the "select-list" to dynamically include the list of valid users.

Is it possible to integrate such a thing with ActionTrackerPlugin and other plugins.

thanks Srikanth

Thanks. I was able to populate the things. One minor remark regarding the script that you had at your userpage.. The cool-utility to add action items using the interface was having problems becuase of the following

a. Had to include %INCLUDE{"%SYSTEMWEB%/JSCalendarContribInline"}% in the template
b. Had to update the image source to src="%PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/JSCalendarContrib/img.gif

'b.' simply expands to my text of '/pub/TWiki/...' on my server. But you're right, that's how it should be written so I'll change that.

I have no idea why you need 'a.' But I'll add those remarks in case someone else runs into that.
