This is not a full answer but have you tried datatiddler##entryname

Rather than temptiddler!!entryname

[tw5] Can a <$button> be used to create a data tiddler?

2019-06-16 Thread Chris
Tried searching the forum to no avail.

Right now I have a button that populates fields. The fields needs are many 
and makes it clunky. Though I knew of data tiddlers it is only recently I 
realized there could be some potential usefulness. Here is section of my 
current button action.

name.middle={{$:/temp/person!!name.middle}} 
name.family={{$:/temp/person!!name.family}}
name.handle={{$:/temp/person!!name.handle}} 

date.birth={{$:/temp/person!!date.birth}} 
place.birth={{$:/temp/person!!place.birth}} 
date.baptism={{$:/temp/person!!date.baptism}} 
place.baptism={{$:/temp/person!!place.baptism}} 

date.death={{$:/temp/person!!date.death}} 
place.death={{$:/temp/person!!place.death}} 
date.burial={{$:/temp/person!!date.burial}} 
place.burial={{$:/temp/person!!place.burial}} 
cause.death={{$:/temp/person!!cause.death}} 

Setting the type to dictionary is not an issue. But is there a way to 
generate the output to populate data information in the text field? For 
instance "name.middle={{$:/temp/person!!name.middle}}" would populate in 
the text field as name.middle: ( value of ){{$:/temp/person!!name.middle}}?

Index numbers would not work here not only do I need "date.birth" to know 
what I am looking at but also ( if export it ) for someone to know what 
they are looking at.
