I have found an answer in a question, Lost in transclusion, posted on 20
August.
Eric and Tones provide the information about transclusion and having to use
the wikifi widget. Taking their example and adding the wikifi line in my
main tiddler code makes things work correctly.
New main tiddler code:
<$button>
<$wikify name="theuniqueid" text={{$:/TLS/uniqueid}}>
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="$:/TLS/new-id" $overwrite="yes" />
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/TLS/new-id" text={{$:/TLS/uniqueid}}
uniqueid=<<theuniqueid>> />
/>
Add
</$button>
