Hi Jonny,

I tested again, with a new Tracker and got Tracker Field Rules to work on a wiki page.

First mistake, I was using a wiki page template, but currently do not know how to correctly configure the second field ('Field Rules Parent Selector'), so will attempt this another time.

So I left this second configuration option empty ('Field Rules Parent Selector') and only added a 'y' to first option 'Use Field Rules' (maybe good someday to make this a dropdown, 'yes/no' with default 'no' for consistency throughout PluginTracker?)

When I tried with just Plugin Tracker on a wiki page, I found that the field Id does need to be included/listed and Tracker Field Rules correctly hides it until meeting the criteria of the Rules. Optionally, you could not fill in the PluginTracker param 'fields' and all the fields will be displayed by default, and the 'Rules' would work, though I have found in practice you loose a lot of flexibility (sorting the order of the fields, not listing irrelevant fields, etc.)

Solved in 20 days from my original post! Most of that time was 'time away' from the problem to get a 'fresh' look at it.

br,
Mike
