Mat, Thanks for these references;
*Your Varsfields* I was reviewing your links and varsfields. - Have a look at my recently shared local-viewTemplate <https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/tiddlywiki/rq9FsAk4TEw> in which I create a tiddler of the form $:/config/EditTemplateFields/Visibility/fieldname value hide - This uses the core method of hiding nominated fields from the field editor so you need not have a modified *$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/fields <http://varsfields.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FEditTemplate%2Ffields>* Varsfields is a nice example of extending tiddler functionality, I imaging a small bundle of these like Varsfields, my local-viewTemplate and an unpublished local-macros would be a nice little bundle for people learning tiddlywiki, because they can do a lot of experiments on a single tiddler. - I initially misunderstood varsfield but an extension would be to turn the named fields into variables with the value set. - This would permit local override of a global value for testing. Configsfields is another nice example and gives me some great ideas. I think we need a user edit mode as an alternative to the tiddler edit mode.
