automatically use user specific values between trackers | item-link / dynamic-item-link / ... ?

Hi, I have quick question:

I am developing a conference registration website.

There are two tracker

1.) a usertracker (Id1) (additional at site registration) for general personal data, reusable every year.

2.) a registration tracker (Id2) for the next conference event (current year).

I have to use the Excel export of tracker 2 to use the data for further prosessing and thus I need the 'real names' of tracker 1 to be automatically (or automagically) included into tracker 2

I am wondering, if that would be possible with item-link or dynamic-item-link, in the way, that a user who has an account ( thus one and only one item in tracker 1 ) enters a new item in tracker 2 ( aswell limited to one item per user ) gets automatically the necessary entries of the appropriate field from tracker 1 into tracker 2 obviously it would be inappropriate to need to chosse the names of a list of all existing other registrants.

In other words:

1.) a user registers to the website and gives his real name in the user tracker.

2.) the user registeres to a conference in 2015 or 2016, etc. and his real name is automatically used in the current conference registration tracker.

Any hint appreciated.

Best regards,
Torsten

I'm sure there's some sort of way by linking the two trac but I think you can do this with the regular TRACKERLIST plugin, by using the FILTERFIELD.

See the "http://doc.tiki.org/PluginTrackerList" class="wiki wikinew text-danger tips">How to filter a tracker function on a field in a user tracker" sample
