Hi again J, So, am I assumging right that you try to achieve both these things: 1. a list of (possibly generated) titles based on which to generate tiddlers 2. a (dynamic) template the properties / fields of which you do not want hard-coded via action-setfield but rather "copy"

Hi r As far as I remember, the ActionSetfield widget may also be used in conjunction with a widget message to open the new tiddlers for editing. regards On Saturday, 4 February 2017 02:31:16 UTC+2, Matabele wrote: > > Hi J Mc and Tobias > > I can give a kind of general answer. > > The

[tw] Re: [TW5] Can the MakeTid Widget be used to create tiddlers from a list in conjunction with a tiddler template

Hi J Mc and Tobias I can give a kind of general answer. The ActionSetfield widget may be used by way of a hack to create new tiddlers silently in the background, since setting the value of a field of a non-existent tiddler currently results in the missing tiddler being created quietly in the

[tw] Re: [TW5] Can the MakeTid Widget be used to create tiddlers from a list in conjunction with a tiddler template

Hi Tobias, I new the original list was working, but if I added fields etc it didn't. Like you say, if I define the fields using action setfield rather than trying to do it via a template, it should work. I'll try your suggestion and get back to you when it works. Sorry again for any confusion

[tw] Re: [TW5] Can the MakeTid Widget be used to create tiddlers from a list in conjunction with a tiddler template

Hi Tobias, my main problem is the list of titles. If I can define the fields and tags elsewhere, then the ListOfTitles tiddler would be just that - a list of names for each tiddlers title. I want to create families of items such as parts, materials, ingredients etc by making a list of titles for

[tw] Re: [TW5] Can the MakeTid Widget be used to create tiddlers from a list in conjunction with a tiddler template

Hi J, Still not getting what isn't working for you. What's not working about my initial suggestion(s)? Are you saying you want to make an exact duplicate of ListOfTitles, except for the text field since that contains the titles? In other words: you don't want to have to be specific about the

[tw] Re: [TW5] Can the MakeTid Widget be used to create tiddlers from a list in conjunction with a tiddler template

Hello Tobias, Mat and cmari, sorry for my delay in replying. My original requirements were: 1) create a tiddler with a number of fields, some tags and several titles of a required list of tiddlers (ListOfTitles) 2) Use the MakeTid or other widget to read each of the titles and number of

[tw] Re: [TW5] Can the MakeTid Widget be used to create tiddlers from a list in conjunction with a tiddler template

It should work with single quotes around the text? As in: <$button> make new tiddlers from list <$list filter={{ListOfTitles}}> <$action-setfield $tiddler={{!!title}} text='{{||A}}'/> cmari On Friday, February 3, 2017 at 1:43:56 AM UTC-8, Mat wrote: > > (unknown reason why formtting messes

Hi J, Now that I read your first post again, I think I totally overengineered my first answer considering what I now believe you are after. So, let's roll back to the simple questions: - For what part do you think you need the *MakeTidWidget

Hi J, As far as I can see, it cannot, since it provides the button itself rather act like other ActionWidgets . However, you can use tobibeer/make and tobibeer/split
