Mark, there is no issue with the action widgets. In fact try this in the above code: replace the value in the set widget with "some static text". Everything works as expected. That is, the setfield action sets the text of the new tiddler to <<table "some static text">> then navigates to it, then deletes the temp tiddler. The issue appears to be with the set widget. It is as if the set widget is parsed prior to any action widgets regardless of its location inside the button.
