It's for this data-based app <https://plantmed.tiddlyhost.com/> i'm building at TiddlyHost -using this amazing Google Sheets plugin <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/discussions/5482> that's coming together nicely (kudos to @twMat and @MarkS)- that Field Search is so needed, because the product of gSheet import is a set of tiddlers named after the value in ID column of the gSheet (all tidders being tagged with name of tab in the gSheet), with 2nd (text) column of gSheet populating the tiddler's text field, and all other columns creating additional fields named after the column that creates them.
So: it's just that 2nd column that populates the "body" (i.e. text field) of the tiddler, which i'd like to set up as a template that pulls in and presents content -including image(s)- from all those additional fields. Nice to see that TW5 is smart enough to identify the type of data in these columns (e.g. "Image:" or "imagedirectlink:"). Problem is, i'm not smart enough to figure out how to get data from these fields to appear in the text field of tiddler! I've searched TW docs and content of this gGroup every which way to Sunday, and am still without a clue... But this seems to me like a common-enough use case (i.e. an image-centric database-access app) that there must be some prior art i can copy. Any pointers along such lines would be most appreciated!
