I think your "Idea" tiddler is the template which will be used by the
newTiddlerWithForm macro

Rename/Copy your Idea to a tiddler IdeaTemplate. It is not really
needed but it will help avoid confusion to name a template
"SomeNameTemplate"

Then try this in SideBarOptions:
<<newTiddlerWithForm IdeaTemplate "New Idea">>

"GettingStarted" is no macro it is a predefined tiddler. If a tiddler
is part of the core it is named "shadow tiddler". You may have read
this already somewhere. These tiddlers are always there. If you
generate a "new tiddler" titeled: GettingStarted, your tiddler will
overwrite the shadow tiddler. If you delete it, the shadow tiddler
will be regenerated.

The <<...>> is the syntax to call a macro inside a tiddler.
eg:
<<newTiddlerWithForm IdeaTemplate   "New Idea">>
^^^macro name;       ^templateName   ^Title fo the new generated
tiddler

If you use it with an invalid macro name there will be an error.

newTiddler is a macro

Hope it helps
