Hi all,

In most of my tools, a user selection dropdown is used to allow someone to be picked as a "owner" of a task, or assignement, etc.  With a large volume of users (often with same first names), I can't use either login name (which is based on our network login); or the user's first name alone.

Since 1.0, I've been making use of the following query (in a db list):
select firstname.value || ' ' || lastname.value from BaseObject obj, StringProperty firstname, StringProperty lastname where obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers' and firstname.id.id=obj.id and lastname.id.id=obj.id and firstname.name='first_name' and lastname.name='last_name' order by firstname.value

The "|| '' ||" option joins up firstname.value and lastname.value fairly neatly, so people can select the correct person...

In 1.2rc1 it does not return users at all.  Is this something that's been locked down on 1.2rc1?
