Hi Andrew You might have some luck with Eric Shulmans TaggedTemplateTweak http://www.tiddlytools.com/#TaggedTemplateTweak. It allows you to use a single tag to invoke a customized View- and edittemplateTemplate (ie timesheettestViewTemplate and timesheettestEditTemplate) Next action would be to write those templates embedding the formtemlate into the ViewTemplate like this: <span class macro='formTiddler TimesheetRecordTemplate'></span>. All tiddlers tagged timesheettest, will then be opened with the form - without any form written to the textarea... which I think is great... Don't know if this helps - but it's another way of doing it - and maybe it gives you new possibilities. I've tried to use formtemplates from/in the edittemplate - but it didn't work for me...
