Hello Jeremy, sorry, your suggestion does not work for me. I am running the latest version 5.1.2 of TW on Node Js locally. 127.0.0.1:8005.
I followed your instructions to the letter. As soon as I save the newly created tiddler, $:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512, the selected menu on the sidebar *does* change to reflect the new value of the tidler. *But* as soon as I *reload* the TW, the selected tab reverts to the default. Perhaps TW on Node.js does not save new $:/state/ ... type tiddlers on file automatically?
