- Description
Some phantom prefs are introduced in each version of Tiki, as devs add/change prefs but don't notice this. So before each major release (ex.: from 11.0 to 12.0, but not from 12.0 to 12.1), a complete check needs to be done, for all admin panels.
- Start with a fresh install (this is important because some of these issues could only happen once)
- Visit tiki-admin.php
- Activate all Preference Filters (Basic, Advanced, etc.)
- For each of the approx 50 panels on tiki-admin.php
- Activate or deactivate any checkbox (any pref really) on the page (only one per URL, no need to do it per tab).
- Confirm that the pref change is reported.
- If any other pref change is reported, figure out why and resolve.
- Solution

Fixed it now. Check this commit id: 48412
@mani: still an issue. I activated "Attachment" tracker field type and I got (Preference name: tracker_insert_allowed) in addition to (Preference name: trackerfield_file). Once you resolve, please try (on a fresh 12.x install) to change one pref from each of the approx 50 admin panels to make sure they are all OK. Thanks!
@mani: Please see my comment.
