Its not a field.
I know about fields.
Eventually I wrote
<<forEachTiddler
where 'tiddler.tags.contains("Male Characters")'
write
'"|[["+tiddler.title+"]]|" +tiddler.data("firstname")+ "|"+
tiddler.data("lastname")+"|"+tiddler.data("description")+"|[["
+tiddler.data("species")+ "]]|\n"'
begin '"| Name | First name | Last name | Description | Species |h\n"'
none '"No Male Characters defined\n"'
>>
Note that "tiddler.data()".
Note that the tiddler -- as I said -- had <data>...</data> in its body.
Nothing to do with fields.
