Stéphane,
I had the same issue and I solved it by creating a special button, which
adds both a tag and one or more fields.
When using it for some time it occurred to me that - if I need both a
tag and a field with always the same contents, something is flawed with
my data model or my processes, since I am creating redundant information
stored in different places.
And it took only a short time until these redundancies made me very
unhappy....
Also see Tones last sentence: "what if the field already exists" - also
a way to become unhappy ;/

Stéphane,
/Can tag adding, trigger field creation?/
To answer this question directly if you provide the method to add a
tag, like construct your own button, you can always add an additional
action to create a field.
I am sure we can find a way to hack the existing add tag system to
also add a field but do you want this field added every time any tag
is added?
When you are ready explain what you are trying to achieve with this
tag and field and when or if, its always needed, what if the field
already exists etc...
Regards
Tones

Hi Tones,
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry if I didn't clearly express 'what I would like', and sorry
if providing steps on how I was seeing the mechanism I had in mind
didn't help. I'll try to improve what I have already done and
rephrase it accordingly.
Anyway, the macro you provided is very interesting and could be
really useful. It should be added to TiddlyWiki's documentation
which doesn't provide any examples about the tag-picker.
Also thanks for your 'standard nomenclature' you recently posted
about. This is a great piece of work!
Cheers,
Stéphane

You are aware that in your section *So, here's what I would
like:* you are in many ways forcing the solution rather than
truly stating "what you would like". Perhaps avoid tiddlywiki
jargon and ask again, then responders can suggest solutions
beyond the limitations you are implying.
As far as I can see, In database speak you want multiple
values in your source field, there are many ways to achieve
this in tiddlywiki.
I recently discovered we can use the tag-picker macro against
another field, try this;
Source tags: <<tag-picker tagField:"source">>
<$list filter="[{!!source}enlist-input[]]">
<<tag>>
</$list>
* You can also trigger actions on selection with the tag picker.

Hi,
I started gathering all the drama activities I have
collected over the years from miscellaneous sources into a
TW single file.
To quote the source of an activity (= one tiddler per
activity / exercise), I have used so far:
* a tag, itself tagged as 'Source', and that holds the
main source reference in its text field (website,
book, event title and description);
* a 'source_detail' field in the activity tiddler, that
contains the reference details of the activity, such
as the book page number, etc.
Both the source tag's text field and the 'source_detail'
field are then transcluded into the activity, thanks to a
macro adapted from Tobias Beer's filter and list examples
<http://tobibeer.github.io/tw/filters/#all%20current%20tags%20of%20type>.
That works great when the activity has only one source.
Some (nearly) identical activities, however, can be found
on several sources: books, web pages, notes from events I
took part in, etc. And I would like to quote them all in
the activity tiddlers.
So, here's what I would like:
1. I create an activity tiddler.
2. I create the corresponding generic source tag
tiddler(s) if they don't already exist. Ex. a tiddler
tag whose text field holds info about a (hypothetical)
'dramatis.com <http://dramatis.com>' website would be
called 'dramatis' and tagged 'Source'.
3. For every time I add a source tag to the activity
tiddler, TW checks whether a corresponding source
detail field exists in that current activity tiddler.
4. If not, it retrieves the name of the tag and creates a
new field named after that tag. In the example above,
a corresponding field named 'dramatis_detail' or
simply 'dramatis' would be added in the current
activity tiddler.
5. If I delete a source tag (ex. the 'dramatis' tag), the
corresponding 'dramatis' field would also be deleted.
(That step may not be necessary if step 3 is implemented.)
Hope my explanations were clear. I can't work it out
because I've been a TW beginner for months, I can't
understand everything in the very technical and
programer-oriented TW documentation, and so far, my needs
have always been very basic. Time for me to improve my TW
knowledge!
Do you think something like that could be done? If not,
would anybody happen to think of a similar solution on how
to manage multiple sources and reference details, and the
different steps to implement it?
Thanks.
Stéphane L.
