Hi Måns Thank you for pointing me to this most interesting plugin by Eric Shulman. I have also found the HideWhenPlugin by Simon Baird http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#HideWhenPlugin. Both of these plugins can let you have a different EditTemplate or ViewTemplate depending on the tags of the tiddler being edited or viewed. I think this method is going to give me the best results by letting me create a new tiddler with default content and tags and then let me see the tiddler in view mode for entering the data. However, I will first have to figure out how to make a new template, which may take some time.
