Thank you Eric.
I've created a View & Edit templates set for "Locations" in my story
writing Tidllywiki with input fields for 'Country" and "City" and they are
fine, perhaps I just need to dress them up a bit with CSS.
What I'm wondering though is how to filter and sort for them in the parent
- list the known location and have a "create new Location" button. The
latter I understand but I've been experimenting with the former and haven't
'got it' yet. Is this someting I can do with slices?
