@Mat Using your alias view template <http://aliases.tiddlyspot.com/#Alias%20ViewTemplate> I had problems trying to make it work when using a macro in the alias field
I use the following macros to dynamically set the value of the alias field as the first element of the 'aliases' field: \define getNth(tiddler-title:"" field-name:"list" index:"1" ) <$list filter="[list[$tiddler-title$!!$field-name$]nth[$index$]]"> <$view field="title"/> </$list> \end \define getAlias() <<getNth tiddler-title:"" field-name:"aliases" index:"1">> \end as a value of the alias field I use *<<getAlias>>* as a value of the aliases field I set a list of titles such as *[[alias 1]] [[alias 2]] AnotherAlias* the macros work when called in wikitext, but when used with your solutions the title is not displayed Dam On Thursday, October 10, 2019 at 10:21:01 AM UTC+2 Sebastian Ovide wrote: > thanks Tony and Mark > > I was thinking about something without the need to overwrite the default > template: otherwise I would loos the updates as Mark suggested...
