erm... wrong key... sorry ;-).

Soooooo...  I tried:

1. Looking for an itemsProcFunc. But with that I can only change the items
that might be selected and not the default value. Or do I miss something
here?

2. Setting  ...['config']['default'] for that field in ext_tables.php of my
extension depending on the user. But there seems to be no $BE_USER in that
file. Looking in /typo3/init.php I see first:
// Include tables customization (tables + ext_tables)
and after that
// BackEnd User authentication
So, no BE_USER in ext_tables.php (which is a pity, as I would like to do
some other things with the TCA depending on the user).

3. Looking in TCEMAIN and TCEFORMS TSconfig, but didn't find anything I
could use here as well.

Does anybody know, if I'm missing something (probably very simple ;-)), or
if it's just not possible to set the default value of a field depending on
the be-user without changing the core?

Thx a lot :-).
