Change contents of "assign to" - trac

I activated restrict_owner to change the textfield to a dropdown when creating a new ticket. Is there a way to change the contents of that dropdown from user id's to user names?
The reason is, that all user id's that we use to log in are somewhat cryptic (something like xyz01, xyz02 and so on). If that list could show the associated user names, that you can enter in the prefs, that would be perfect.

To get around that, I installed the Auto-Complete Users Plugin. This will allow you to more easily select a user by account name, real name, or email address, plus it seems to have better performance than using restrict_owner.
I'm not sure if the plugin covers all of the same form fields as the restrict_owner option. If there's one that it misses, it shouldn't be too difficult to modify the code and add another field.

Is it possible to save line item properties in a session?

so I have this website where the user can customize the colors of the different parts of a uniform. So what I currently achieve was using Line Item Property (LIP) to get those selected colors so when the customer checks out and pay, all the values will be passed to the user's email and to the site admin's product dashboard. 
Now my question is, is it possible to save each of those LIP values to a session? I am planning to have a Save Design button just in case the user wants to save it first then check out later. When the user clicks on the button, he will have to input his email address so that a link will be sent to his email -- format could be something like: shopname.com/customizer?designID=8174201a2r When he clicks that link, all the colors he previously selected should load. Is that possible with Shopify? If yes, how, so I can do a further research and study on it. 
Hope I can receive an advice from the experts. Thanks.
I'd say that is absolutely possible setting cookies via Javascript when user fill LIP then getting stored values in cookies to prefill form.

Data entry form in sharepoint

I was wondering if anyone knows what a simplest way to create a data entry form in Sharepoint 2010 Foundation would be. Basicly I am looking to create a form that will submit its data to a custom list on the site, I don't want the users to interact with the list directly but use the form to enter data instead.
Also I can't use Designer or InfoPath, not being able to use these is what is causing the problem it seems. Just curious if anyone else has done something like this or could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Every list is born with forms by default - one for item creation, one for edition and one for displaying. If you use content types, then you get a trio of these for each different type.
You never interact with the list directly, you do it through these forms. If you can't use either Infopath nor Sharepoint Designer, you can still edit them by clicking on the Page tab, then the Edit Page button. From there you can add or remove web parts, and connect them among themselves.
However, the amount of control you have is too limited when compared to editing pages through either of the tools or mentioned, or Visual Studio. For example, there is no straightforward way to add or remove list fields based on content type. Be prepared for ever increasing frustration if you can't use those tools.

Add New Combo Value

I am building cascading country, state and city list cascading combo. I need the below functionalities
Need to provide search functionality with dropdown and i am using this for that functionality.
Next, I need to provide user either to choose from existing dropdown values or enter new one. This can be done for both country and state when entering new city.
So my actual question is, is there any free plugin available for this functionality.
If not i have this implementation idea. I will add a option called NEW to dropdown and when user choose that, the text box will be shown for user input. And on submit i can take the value from dropdown if the textbox value is empty.
Any ideas for this implementation with MVC4
you can use this. This provides both the search and add new option functionality

Multi-select from dropdown on custom field on User Story

Currently I have a custom field on User Stories and Defects for our developer to tag what system was affected with their code change. Currently I only see a drop down, which is a single selection. Is there any way to give them the chance to multi-select options in the drop down? Or is there another object that would work better? Thanks in advance for all the great help I always get on here :-)
Your best bet to emulate a multi-select custom field is to use Tags. If you are managing these stories and defects with a custom App you could restrict which Tags you show or allow them to choose from in that App.
As Charles indicated, you probably want to try to use the MultiObjectPicker or the TagPicker, that extends it. If you want to stick with the ComboBox, then you can enable multi-selection by setting the "multiSelect" config field to "true".

Saving text in text boxes before submitting

Like in stackoverflow, I would like that if a user begins to enter text (lets say a lot of text) and נט accident closes the window (or goes back in the browser) when the user returns the unfinished text will be saved and displayed in that text box.
this without submitting.
Do I need to keep it in session[] or something similar?
Is it even possible doing it elegantly or do I need complex infrastructure to support it?
Thanks
You can't do this with a submit. You could do a silent ajax/jquery submittal to store the information. You could store it anywhere but it would depend on its sensitivity. A cookie generally works.
