Here's the code I'm using to create the tiddler in the first place:
\whitespace trim
\define newDataHereActions()
<$set name="tags" filter="[<currentTiddler>] [{$:/config/NewTiddler/Tags}]">
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" tags=<<tags>>
type="application/x-tiddler-dictionary" caption="" text="Line:
Name:
Birth:
Born:
From:
To:
Circumstance:
Location:
Parish:
County:
Date: "/>
</$set>
\end
\define newDataHereButton()
<$button actions=<<newDataHereActions>>
tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/NewDataHere/Hint}}
aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/NewDataHere/Caption}}
class=<<tv-config-toolbar-class>>>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$:/images/fa5/solid/database}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<span class="tc-btn-text">
<$text text=$:/language/Buttons/NewDataHere/Hint/>
</span>
</$list>
</$button>
\end
<<newDataHereButton>>
