Greetings!

i am using a userreference field together with comment_cck to create a recommendation system used by special user roles.
When a user comments a node, they can recommend the article by adding themselves as an user reference.

I have a view connected to the field, which selects the user's name, and ONLY this user's name, so that it can't input other users.

PROBLEM: When this view is used, if the field was previously populated and the user do not input his own username from the dropdown list, the value is blanked out. This is indeed a problem, because every time someone with access to change the field comments, the user reference value will be blanked out.

How do I work around this? Is there a way to add current value as an option to the views dropdown-list?

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
