Ton,
Great proof of concept. I can work with this. I can put in a test to see if
buttonto's tiddler already has the $:/tags/ViewToolbar tag and hide the
additional set up actions.
I can see how to build on this. Not sure why I did not envision this
approach.
I like how the tiddler to create the button also becomes the button.
I want this to allow actions such create field or have two buttons in a
toggle, and additional actions etc.. so as you say further thought is
necessary.
Thank you
Tony
