Tracker fields textarea content wiki parsing doesn't work the same as wiki page content parsing

• Conflict of two features (each works well independently)
• Consistency
• Usability

Tracker fields textarea content wiki parsing doesn't work the same as wiki page content parsing when using a page as a Smarty template with the wiki Smarty block. For example consider we have a textarea field and this wiki syntax in the page named "User Profile TPL":

{wiki}{$f_358}{/wiki}

The code above indicates we want the field value to be wiki parsed using the Smarty wiki block.

This is the code to reproduce using PluginTrackerlist (I know it is not PluginList 😉 ... but the wiki parsing should behave everywhere in Tiki the same no matter what you prefer to use):

{trackerlist trackerId=38 list_mode=csv view=user wiki="User Profile TPL"}

The input:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis orci ante. Aliquam sit "amet libero" vitae turpis mattis eleifend.

* meh 50%
* 123
* blah blah

Maecenas sodales felis sed magna cursus, eu ultrices metus scelerisque. Vivamus viverra ipsum aliquet commodo mollis.

The expected result:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis orci ante. Aliquam sit "amet libero" vitae turpis mattis eleifend.

• meh 50%
• 123
• blah blah

Maecenas sodales felis sed magna cursus, eu ultrices metus scelerisque. Vivamus viverra ipsum aliquet commodo mollis.

The actual result:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis orci ante. Aliquam sit """"amet libero"""" vitae turpis mattis eleifend.

* meh 50
%* 123
* blah blah

Maecenas sodales felis sed magna cursus, eu ultrices metus scelerisque. Vivamus viverra ipsum aliquet commodo mollis.

Reproduced on the show instance: http://luci-199-7045.show.tikiwiki.org/
(use show:show as user:password and for admin login use admin:12345 to play with it)

{wiki}{$f_358|replace:"~np~%%%*~/np~":"\n*"|replace:"~np~%%%~/np~":"\n"|replace:'""""':'"'}{/wiki}

HHUE (Hopefully human understandable explanation):
For the wiki parsed field ($f_358) replace any occurrence of 3 percent signs (wiki syntax for a forced line break) immediately preceding an asterisk (which is the wiki syntax for un-ordered lists) with a newline character (so the list gets parsed correctly as it does parse only when the asterisk is at the beginning of line), then replace any remaining 3 percentage signs with newline character and finally replace these mysterious 4-times repeated double quotes with 1 double quote.
