Hello Tony Thanks a lot for replying, and I would be highly interested to learn how to do it in wikitext and widgets
I tried to explain what I am trying to do in my OP but I will try again. Issue is it sounds so clear in my head that I am getting troubles explaining it. Below are 2 entries in the same tiddler of my DailyNotes plugin. The first one has the old timestamp (only hours) the second one new timestamp 22:34~Entry with old time stamp <br /> 20200520223405903~Entry with new time stamp <br /> what I am trying to do is a function setting a variable called timestamp to 22:34 no matter if I feed it with 22:34 or 20200520223405903 thanks again On Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 2:58:57 AM UTC+3, TonyM wrote: > > Tony K, > > Fine run with your solution with a JS macro since this is clearly your > strength,However I am confident with a little more detail to your request, > for clarity I can make a pure wikit text and widget solutions for you. > > On the other hand using the title as a time stamp ie the primary key to a > tiddler as an attribute (the time) of the tiddler is in my view not a good > design choice.
