By using the actions attribute, you can add the things that have to happen
AFTER the creation -- otherwise the button widget doesn't see the new
tiddler.
\define myactions()
<$fieldmangler tiddler={{x:/temp/create}} >
<$action-sendmessage
$message="tm-remove-tag"
$param="Templates"/>
</$fieldmangler>
<$action-deletetiddler $tiddler="x:/temp/create"/>
\end
<$button actions=<<myactions>> >
<$action-createtiddler
$basetitle="Created Tiddler"
$savetitle = "x:/temp/create"
$template="Source Tiddler"/>
Create New Tiddler
</$button>
I changed your savetitle tiddler name while testing. Also, I kept things
simple by not using a field since you were going to delete the tiddler
anyway.
