Hi Jeremy I am still working on user list fields -- your suggestion to extend my MangleTags widget to any field was easily implemented. However, this option opened a can-of-worms. It seems that one of the primary uses of user lists involves maintaining a particular order; and this necessitates management of that order (rather than simply appending the added string.)
My current approach is to make use the existing library of filters to maintain order (sort[], !sort[] etc.), rather than the more direct approach of specifying the position of insertion with attributes (before, after, first, last etc.) I have made some progress -- strings can be added and removed, sorted in various ways, prefix's added and removed, and so on. The one limitation is that only single instances of a string can exist in the list, where some believe lists should permit multiple instances (arbitrary lists.) My current problem is specifying a point of insertion for an added string using filters (before[mymarker] and after[mymarker].) I now have something working (using a pair of new filters), but the user syntax is horrible. May have to revert to the more direct approach for this particular problem.
