This feels like a bug to me; is there a ticket for it? > In addition, there's nothing you can *do* with any changes you enter > into a "view mode input field"... because there is no 'done' button to > press to tell the core to copy the changed value back to the tiddler > field. Similarly, when I added an edit macro to ViewTemplate, I found there was no way to undo it because there was no way to get the "delete" button to delete the ViewTemplate. > Fortunately, I have a plugin that extends the core's <<edit>> field > code so that it can handle both of these issues, making it possible to > embed <<edit>> directly in tiddler content and have it actually work: > > http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#EditFieldPlugin > > After you install this plugin in your document, you will once again be > able to edit the tiddler with the embedded <<edit>> macro.
