[tw5] Re: Scope of {{!!field}}
This is great. Didn't know about <>... so many possibilities!
I appreciate the help!

There's another, much simpler way to do this, using the <$tiddler> widget.
Just add the following in any tiddler that you want to show in a tabset:
<$tiddler tiddler=<>>
...
tiddler content goes here, e.g., <$text text={{!!month}}/>
...
When the tiddler is displayed directly, the <> variable is
undefined, and the <> is unchanged (i.e., the $tiddler
widget has no effect). However, when the tiddler is displayed **within a
tabset**, the <> variable *is* defined, and the <$tiddler>
widget changes the <> value to match the title of the
tiddler being displayed in the tab, allowing 'local' field references
(i.e., {{!!!month}}) to work as desired.
enjoy,

the tabs macro uses the variable 'currentTab' so you could test for
currentTiddler being empty and if so use the currentTab:
<$set name="currentTiddler" filter="[all[current]]" value=<>
emptyValue=<>>
<$text text={{!!month}}/>

[tw5] Re: Scope of {{!!field}}
Hi Tony,
As usual, I left out a couple of important details. I'm using the tiddler
referencing {{!!month}} as a template so pulling the field from the current
tiddler is my intention. I'm trying to get around having to explicitly
include the tiddler title in the fieldname reference (don't want to use
{{October!!month}}).
Adding a little more detail, my tiddler looks like this:
<$macrocall $name="my-calendar"
year={{$:/tdg/vars/calendar-schoolyear-startyear!!year}} month=10/>
!! Reports Due This Month
<$macrocall $name="custom-links" monthtag=October sorttype=<>
sortby=day/>
I want to use this template in 12 tiddlers, one for each month, which will
then be viewed in a separate tiddler via the tabs macro. I'm trying to get
around the having to manually change the month number (10 in the example
above) and month tag (October in the example above) in each of the 12 month
tiddlers. Generally speaking, I would have other uses for this type of
abstraction as well, but can't get it to work.
If I use a field reference ({{!!month}}, for example) insead of the
explicit month number/tag, it works fine in the tiddler, but breaks in the
tabs tiddler.
I've tried various set widget combos and macros but can't get it to work.
Thanks,
Brian

In the text reference !!fieldname you are not specifying the tiddler name as in
tiddlername!!fieldname. Thus it applies to current tiddler not the tiddler it
is coded in.
You can change the way you reference the fieldname in another tiddler by
including the tiddler name or set the current tiddler. The current tiddler is
set by default inside lists or you can use the tiddler widget
<$tiddler tiddler=tiddlername>
in here current tiddler is tiddler name
So {{!!title}} is the same as
{{tiddlername!!title}} and <>
I hope this helps because I can see you need to make this conceptual leap.
Regards
Tony
