[tw5] Re: Is there an option to have an input tag (e.g. text input), with a button "save" next to it which then saves to a tiddler field?
Melvin, I know you have walked down a different path but I suggest making a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate that transcludes a template tiddler (containing the edit text) on the tiddler where you require the edit to take place. This allows you appear to be editing the current tiddler without the focus problem, but you are actually editing it from the template tiddler.

Thanks for sharing Melvin. Just a note; your use of the html term "input tag" risks causing confusion here because in TW "tag" is the visual tag pills seen in tiddlers. Just sayin'. A thought: Do you necessarily want to apply the text using a button or wouldn't it be more convenient if the text was simply applied as you type it? You can do this by this construct; <$vars curr=<>> <$tiddler tiddler=dummy> <$edittext tiddler=<> field="thefieldyouwant" /> <:-) > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

My final working code is:
goal 1: <$view field=g1_value/> <$edit-text
tiddler="StoreDailyQuestionnaireData" field="g1_value"/>
<$button>
<$action-setfield $field=g1_value
$value={{StoreDailyQuestionnaireData!!g1_value}} />
<$action-setfield $tiddler="StoreDailyQuestionnaireData" $field="g1_value"
$value="" />
change goal 1

I got it by doing
<$edit-text tiddler="StoreDailyQuestionnaireData" field="mytestfield"/>
<$button><$action-setfield $field=demonstration1
$value={{StoreDailyQuestionnaireData!!mytestfield}} />Set the field
1
<$button><$action-setfield $field=demonstration2
$value={{StoreDailyQuestionnaireData!!mytestfield}} />Set the field
2
---
<$view field=demonstration1/>
<$view field=demonstration2/>
