Here's my solution:
\define newRisk_button() <$button actions=<<newRisk_actions>>> New project
risk entry </$button>
\define newRisk_actions()
<$vars
projnum={{{ [<storyTiddler>get[projectnumber]] }}}
time=<<now "YYYY-0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss">>
>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler"
title={{{ [<projnum>addsuffix[,Risk (]addsuffix<time>addsuffix[)]] }}}
tags={{{ [<projnum>addsuffix[ risk]] }}}
text={{creationtemplateRisk}}
projectnumber=<<projnum>>
/>
</$vars>
\end
Need to document a new project risk?
Click this button: <<newRisk_button>> to create a new risk tiddler with
this [[template|creationtemplateRisk]]
and tagged with <$macrocall $name="tag" tag={{{
[<storyTiddler>get[projectnumber]] }}} /> and <<tag risk>>
Notes:
* newRisk_button() macro outputs a $button widget (note the *single-line*
macro definition omits the \end)
* $button uses the actions="..." parameter to defer all button processing
until the button is pressed
* newRisk_actions() macro is invoked when the $button is pressed
* $vars uses an inline filter to get the projnum value from the current
storyTiddler's "projectnumber" field
* It also get the time value using the <<now>> macro
* $action-sendmessage triggers tm-new-tiddler to create a new tiddler
* the title param uses an inline filter to construct the new title from the
projnum and time
* the tags param uses an inline filter to construct the new tags from the
projnum and "risk"
* the text param fetches the template contents
* the projectnumber param adds a field with the value of the projnum
Then:
the text of the tiddler shows the newRisk_button and a link to the template
along with "tag pills" for the current storyTiddler's project number and
the "risk" tag.
enjoy,
