I know and am very thankful of the many items of advice I have received in 
the past. But I am still frustrated - there must be some core element I am 
not understanding.

The main issue is how to address items in wikitext, {{ [[ {{{ << <  etc. I 
know this all depends on how the item is being used but a simple cheat 
sheet with many examples would be really useful. I don't find the 
Tiddlywiki documentation easy to follow, bits are all over the place and 
none of the examples address my problems I find.

For example, why does this not work?

<$button>
<$action-setfield
     $tiddler="$:/TLS/exhibition_id"
     $value={{!!exhibition_id}}
/>
<!--append the exhibition_id to the exhibition id field in each artwork-->
<$list filter="[tag[Mark]]">
     <$action-setfield 
          $field="exhibition_id" 
          $value=<<TLSconcatenate {{!!exhibition_id}} 
{{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}}>>
     /> 
</$list>

Link Artworks to Exhibition
</$button>


The result is the string {{!!exhibition_id}} {{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}} 
stored in the exhibition_id field of each artwork selected and not the 
transcluded values.

TLSconcatenate is a simple macro to concatenate two strings

\define TLSconcatenate(head tail) $head$$tail$
