Is this really such a difficult thing? I can create new tiddlers with custom text using a button, but I want to be able to do that from [[New Tiddler With Text]] links, which is how most of my new tiddlers get created.
Is there no default blank tiddler that I can edit to have this work? On Friday, 30 April 2021 at 16:46:53 UTC+1 Jax Kovak wrote: > Thanks again, but I already found this thread and it doesn't help.
