Re: [Tiki-devel] Discussion about tracker item duplicate feature in case the tracker use a field user selector with auto-adssign

Hi Bernard

Thanks for kicking this off - i'm far from clear what the behaviour should be, especially for an admin.

For a non-admin i guess the "creator" user selector should be set to the user doing the duplicating, but for an admin i'm not so sure. Should it duplicate the current creator user, or use the current user (which is what it does now) or... something else?

Tricky one, maybe it should ask?
