I am trying to implement a simple function in my TW.

<code>
<$button>
<$list filter="[tag[Mark]]">
     <!--append exhibition_id to exhibition_id of each marked artwork 
tiddler-->
     
           <$action-setfield 
               $field="exhibition_id" 
               $value={{{ [{!!exhibition_id}addsuffix[ 
]addsuffix{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}] }}}
          />
   
     <!--append each artwork_id to artwork_id of the exhibition tiddler-->
     
          <$action-setfield 
               $tiddler= {{{ [{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}] }}}
               $field="artwork_id" 
               $value={{{ [{$:/TLS/exhibition_id!!artwork_id}addsuffix[ 
]addsuffix{$:/TLS/artwork_id}] }}}
          />
     
</$list>

Link Artworks to Exhibition
</$button>
</code>

The first action-setfield works. The second one doesn't but I can not 
determine why. It differs from the first in that the first is editing a 
field of the <currentTiddler> from a $list widget whilst the second is 
editing a field of a tiddler whose title is stored in the tiddler 
$:/TLS/exhibition_id.

Is it possible to edit a tiddler not part of the $list widget set?

To my understanding, there are essentially two transclusions involved, 
first to get to the tiddler whose title is in $:/TLS/exhibition_id and the 
second to the field artwork_id stored in this tiddler.

>From Tones' excellent cheat sheet, I thought I has it right but obviously 
not. 

There is obviously an error in my wikitext. But what??

Secondly, an earlier query regarding conditional operators with some advice 
from Saq Imtiaz.

I want to only perform the action-setfield if the value to be inserted is 
not already in the field.

I thought this would work (replacement for the first action-setfield 
statement from above).
<code>
     <$list [{!!exhibition_id}!contains{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}] 
 variable="_null" >
           <$action-setfield 
               $field="exhibition_id" 
               $value={{{ [{!!exhibition_id}addsuffix[ 
]addsuffix{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}] }}}
          />
     </$list>
</code>
 but it doesn't.

What an I doing wrong here?
