Mario,
Ah yes, these related fields could be for a range long-ago..from,
long-ago..to meaning there is no need for long-ago or long-ago..
We need to be careful we do not confuse the type with the fieldname. I
would not expect a fieldname.type in any tiddler but perhaps in a dedicated
fieldname tiddler.
Thus there may be a tiddler named long-ago..from and another long-ago..to
which include a field called field-type=ancient which demands a negative
number or 0 ? and has a "year" as its units.
I once thought that I must decide on a set of modes that either the tiddler
or a specific field can be "displayed in" such as view update(click to
change) edit already in edit mode etc...
During this thread I have come to realise each time we add a field we can
also add it to more than one mode tiddler eg edit-mode which can contain
the wikitext for that field in edit mode, in fact all fields wiki text in
edit mode. And another for view and update, I can just add another mode
tiddler eg designer and decide what wiki text markup to use for the field
in this mode.
The trick is to simplify this so you start with a default related to the
tidler type, for example a view provided for long-ago..from woul;d be
{{!!long-ago..from}} if I put the tiddler into edit mode, it looks to see
if this field has an entry in the edit mode tiddler, if not it "steps back
one" and inherits the view mode.
It would be easy to scan the wiki and identify all fields and store them in
a view mode tiddler just with the {{!!fieldname}} as an initial value. Do
the same for editmode and place in each field in the tiddler the code to
edit each field defaulting to text edit. However as pointed out before
having a field-type determine how to view or edit is more precise. Thus on
creating a field add the field name to a $:/fields tiddler and provide a
default field-type, then in separate mode tiddlers provide the wikitext to
handle that field type in that mode.
I am working on an example now, and using some buttons to populate default
fields.
