So I've worked out a solution based on Dave Gifford's example[1] of using the SelectWidget to set fields.
The dropdown menu only appears in View Mode of course, but changes made show up in the fields in Draft Mode, so I guess it's doing what I need it too. I'd still rather the changes could only be made in Draft Mode, but this seems to work. I now have the code below[1] to set the value field for 'probability', and a similar one to set the value for 'severity'. My next step is to place the code for each group of values in a separate tiddler, so that I can reference them (transclude them?) into each tiddler that I require values set for. I'm doing this so I can easily change or update the values across multiple tiddlers. Any hints or tips appreciated! Cheers, David.

I guess this will only show the code in Draft Mode, though. Is that correct, or is there some way to use the SelectWidget in Draft Mode, too? > > By the way, what is the opposite of Draft Mode?
