Hi Alex
Thanks for this excellent suggestion to use the title instead of the
tags with fET. Instead of using tags, I can use the following to
process tiddlers that have a title that starts with "Time_test_".
<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.title.startsWith("Time_test_")'
Since I no longer need the tags, I was going to use newTiddlerWithForm
except that I have realised that I cannot specify default values with
this macro. If anyone knows how to have today's date show by default
in a field in a form, that would be most helpful. At this point,
though, I am using newTiddler which creates a new tiddler in edit
mode. I then just press "done" to begin entering data into the form
fields.
<<newTiddler
title:{{"Time_test_"+(new Date()).formatString
("YYYY0MM0DD_0hh0mm0ss")}}
label:"New timesheet record button"
text:{{"<<formTiddler TimesheetRecordTemplate\>\><data\>{\"date\"\:\""+
(new Date()).formatString("DD/MM/YYYY")+"\", \"hours\"\:0}</data\>"}}
tag:"timesheettest">>
Cheers
