Re: [Tiki-devel] legacy_index in preferences

Hi B

There should be something on dev somewhere about this, i eventually worked it out a few years ago as i wasn't sure what these were either.

They are only needed for field options that were in Tiki before the Trackers Revamp in Tiki 7, so you never need to add one to any new options added since then.

I guess it's still a good idea to keep them as we do have the ambition for it to be able to upgrade in one step from Tiki 1.x to 23.x, although surely mostly we wouldn't, especially sites with anything even slightly complex involving trackers included! ;)

So i guess we should remove any that were added since the revamp (i tiny i added a few ages ago), although i guess they would do nothing because Text fields from Tiki 6 could only have 6 options max, so number 7 would never be used...
