Tobias, In that context there isn't really any benefit other than a possible very small simplification. But it can be used to set the value of a field to something other than what the source field is set to.
I have been able to do two things that I have wanted to be able to do with tiddlywiki because of it: *Using it I can make a single select widget set multiple fields to different values, and the fields can be picked using a filter. This can be triggered either when the select widget changes or on a button press. The fields don't have to be the same value as the source field. http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#link-fields%20Widget%20-%20Set%20Multiple%20Fields%20Using%20Select and http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#link-fields%20Widget%20-%20Update%20link-fields%20on%20a%20Button%20Press *I can use it to search and replace over the content of all fields in all tiddlers in a wiki. http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#links-field%20Widget%20%20-%20Search%20and%20Replace%20Field%20Contents The basic 'make this field equal that field' isn't very useful by itself, but what you can do with it seems to be pretty powerful and goes beyond what you can do with the simple transclusion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
