Florian, I am yet to do this myself but first you find out which plugin the shadow tiddler belongs using https://tiddlywiki.com/#shadowsource%20Operator eg; $:/core
- On a given system tiddler see Info (button) advanced. this will indicate the shadow source as well. - See also https://tiddlywiki.com/#subtiddlerfields%20Operator to get the fieldnames in shadow tiddlers - There is a preview option in edit mode to compare with the tiddlers source (may be a lead to see how tiddlywiki already does it) I thought there was a way to access shadows otherwise called subtiddlers, but cant find it right now I May return to this Regards Tony On Monday, 4 May 2020 07:20:04 UTC+10, Florian Cauvin wrote: > > How can I get the original value of a shadow tiddler that I override? > > As an example, let's say I make some small modifications to how my TW > displays tags by overriding shadow tiddler $:/core/ui/TagTemplate > > I then want to display the difference using the original and my > modification using the (new) diff text widget.
