Example... each of type @ filters <http://filters.tiddlyspot.com/#each%20of%20type>
One pedantic footnote about the "each" approach, from experience: obviously if only one tiddler in your file contains a particular field value, e.g., [myfieldname[fieldvalue*1*]], if you use your radio button to change that tiddler's field value to [myfieldname[fieldvalue*2*]], then fieldvalue*1 *will no longer appear as an option in the radio button list. For my use case, I found I still needed to create "placeholder" tiddlers containing the fieldvalues that I wanted to be always available for selection. cmari On Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 7:41:37 AM UTC-8, Tobias Beer wrote: > > Why is *get* special, such that *[get[type]]* doesn't mean >> *[each[type]get[type]*? >> > > I think it boils down to a matter of implementation.
