An addition: Tried the following with the same setup, it also does not work. It even screws the gui up (see screenshot).
*Setup:* A tiddler named "test" with a field "ref" that contains the value "out" \define getVariable(field) <$transclude tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field=$field$ /> \end \define display(outTiddler) <$edit-text tiddler=$outTiddler$ field="text" type="text" default=""></$edit -text> \end <$macrocall $name="display" outTiddler=<<getVariable "ref">> /> Screenshot <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WsUdpMAbYtY/VFailp0W8dI/AAAAAAAAACM/UDrx-1xc-yc/s1600/Selection_355.png> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
