In your code, you are using $action-setfield to set the tags to a literal
text string:
<$action-setfield $tiddler="My new tiddler" tags="first-tag
{{playListTemplate!!PL_name}}"/>
However, TiddlyWiki syntax doesn't evaluate this literal string to expand
references within it. Thus, the resulting tags are exactly what is in
between the quotes.
Fortunately, there is a different widget, $action-listops, that uses a
"$filter" parameter that IS evaluated and produces a space-separated list
which is then assigned to the specified field.
The following will create a "tags" field that has the two tags you want.
<$action-listops $tiddler="My new tiddler" $field="tags" $filter="first-tag
[{playListTemplate!!PL_name}]"/>
Note the use of *single* square brackets and curly braces in the filter.
The square brackets define a "filter run", and the curly braces retrieve
the desired field value.
enjoy,
