Hi I wrote a number of button widgets some time ago for the beta versions of TW5 which address the problem you are having -- they may be found here: http://gwiz.tiddlyspot.com/
Their functionality has largely been superseded with the new action widgets -- especially once the forthcoming ActionSetfieldWidget widget of version 5.1.5 is included. I have delayed updating my button widgets as I do not see any need to duplicate the functionality now included with action widgets. Once I have experimented with the action widgets, I might update and modify my widgets to address any missing functionality and synchronise their mechanism with action widgets. regards On Saturday, November 1, 2014 11:25:22 AM UTC+2, Michael wrote: > > Is there a way to assign several different actions to a button? > > Example: Clicking a button sets field value y to y1 but also sets field > value x to x2 (would come very handy for self-made popups that close after > use) > > Another example that I do not get to work: Create a new tiddler with title > x, fields + values x, y, z plus tags x, y, z.
