I don't know. I'm still learning this stuff! But I should clarify that it's not just the action widget, but also the option nodes that are at the grandchild level. There is a single node at the child level - I'm not sure how to look at what that is. I am tempted to try to implement triggering of all descendents. Is there a practical reason why the proposal you mention hasn't been implemented, or is it just because no-one has gotten around to doing it yet? > > It seems that the value attribute of the action-setfield widget is > always evaluated before the action has been completed, which means that if > I am picking up the field controlled by the select widget, then I always > get the old value.

However, for my application, which is a bit more complicated than my demo tiddler, I think this might not be adequate. I might try to write a new bespoke select widget that also does what I am currently doing with a js macro and the action-setfield widget.
