[image: 2020-07-02_22-55-25.png] wow-wow-wow!! what sorcery is this?? I hardly understand what is happenning in that vodoo-macro but it works! Tested it in one of my micro-wikis (visual novel database). I think it should be part of the core TW (together with Relink Plugin). When I asked a question - I thought it is rather standard operation. To have your own custom template to input data in your tiddlers. What could be more standard? But turned out you need to have a TW degree to do that because of... because of that "engine-techie stuff" that I doubt I would understand. :) Also I VERY doubt that I could come to this solution by myself. Even after reading the whole tiddlywiki.com several times. At least in the nearest year or two. :) There is a huuuge gap between TW newbies and oldtimers and very little possibilities to bridge that because there's very little literature on the topic since TW community is relatively small. But I have one more question. Is it possible to make a button for that transcluded template tiddler with <<input "...">> fields appear and dissappear? Because I don't need to see it all the time. I just need it to fill in initial values or change them. Btw I was also thinking if it is possible to make this whole "Fill in Data Form" to popup with a press of a button in a sertain tiddler and closed when the data is added/updated.
