Mark If it helps this how I conceptualise the each operator working [tag[Task]each[context]get[context]]
- [tag[Task] Get a list of all tiddlers with the tag task - each[context] For all these tiddlers that has the context field, get a tiddler title of a tiddler, that represents *each unique *value in the context field. - get[context] Since each title generated has a unique context using get will return that value in the context field. You could say that "each" returns a / any, "but only one" tiddler title, of each value in the "context". Each is a great way to get all previously used values in a field (after deduplication) I like it when others share their "conceptual" understanding, so thought I would do so for this one.
