Thanks Tones and Joshua for your feedback. I will investigate what you
have advised and hopefully this will fix things. Joshua, I was not aware
of the timing issue you mentioned. Have not come across that as yet but
will keep that in mind from now.
thank again

One problem here is that the code inside of the $button, including
your $action widgets, are parsed/rendered once when the Button itself
is displayed, and will not be updated as the underlying Wiki tiddlers
change (for example, once that Button is onscreen, changes to the list
of Tagged tiddlers will not be picked up).
In order to work around this, it is recommended that you pass all
actions that need complex wikitext to a button as-a-macro-parameter to
the "actions" parameter. This causes the wikitext in the actions block
to be parsed and "rendered" at the time the button is clicked. Like so:
\define buttonActions()
<$list filter="[tag[Mark]]">
<!--add global exhibition_id to the exhibition_id list-field of
each marked artwork tiddler-->
<!--$listops $subfilter will append any new filter run to the
existing list-field-->
<$action-listops
$field="exhibition_id"
$subfilter="[{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}]"
/>
<!--append each artwork_id to artwork_id list-field of the
exhibition tiddler-->
<$action-listops
$tiddler= {{{ [{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}] }}}
$field="artwork_id"
$subfilter="[{$:/TLS/artwork_id}]"
/>
</$list>
\end
<$button actions=<<buttonActions>> >
Link Artworks to Exhibition
</$button>
Best,

Bob,
I have not seen a fault yet, I will keep looking, however when
adding items to a list consider using the ActionListops widget
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#ActionListopsWidget>rather than adding
suffixes. It has the advantage of not setting it twice etc...
Your second attempt at the first action set field will store each
tiddler tagged Mark in _null thus current tiddler will be the
currentTiddler running when you click the button.
When debugging buttons
* you can make large buttons by displaying an intermediate
result as the button title to see the output.
* Your can also make the same loop as just a list, and text what
your logic generated before you hide it with actions tiddlers
when don't themselves present output, just actions.

See how I replicated the tripl braces, keep both upto date as you
test you outcomes
* I basically converted the otherwise actions into text and took
it outside of the button.

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?
