Re: [Tiki-devel] Tiki Item link preselect parameters

Yes, it is a trial and error, unfortunately. I am not sure Trackers 
natively support your use-case where you have 2 different values Month 
and User in one field and want to restrict items from other trackers 
based on part of the field. Maybe you need 2 additional fields (Month) 
and (User) in the same tracker, both Math fields with calculation to 
extract that info from the Month|User field and the match other items 
based on the new fields?

Victor
