Field preference names (since Tiki8)

Since Tiki8?, some tracker fields are not enabled by default, and you need to set them as enabled in the profile definition. Their names are not necessarily the same ones (unluckily). Some of those names are (uncompleted list):
  • trackerfield_autoincrement: y
  • trackerfield_itemlink: y
  • trackerfield_itemslist: y
