Hi all, I have a niche question about creating an auto-updating table and wonder if anyone can give me some guidance.
To illustrate the specific context, let's say I'm trying to create a table of all chairs and ranking memebers of the senate committees. The table would look like this: | Committee | Chair | Ranking Member| | Agriculture | 1 | 2 | | Armed Service | 3 | 4 | When the agriculture chair changes from “Jane Doe (FL)” to "John Smith", I have to manually change the code entry of cell 1 from "[[Jane Doe|Jane Doe (FL)]],,D,," to "John Smith,,R,,". Instead of manually putting codes into cells 1 through 4, I wonder if there is a way that the table could update itself, since the chairs and ranking members change from time to time. What I'm currently exploring is to creat two fields in each committee's tiddler. Say for tiddler "senate agriculture committee", I creat two fields "incumbent_chair" and "incumbent_ranking". My hope is that there can be some way that links cell 1 with the "incumbent_chair", so that whenever I change the "incumbent_chair" field, cell 1 in the table above would automatically update itself (with all the formatting noted above). So far this is not working out, and the best I can do now is to use "<$view tiddler= field=/>" which only allows the table to update cell 1 as the text of the field, not as a tiddler that can be clicked and redirected, nor can I add specific formatting as mentioned in the example above. Is there anyway that I can write a code to reflect this need? Very much appreciate all the help!
