If you want *all* tiddler's to have the same extra field(s), then using a "template tiddler" is the right way. However, you don't have to "take away all the other new tiddler options"... just edit $:/core/ui/Buttons/new-tiddler and add param="NameOfTemplateTiddler" like this: <$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param="NameOfTemplateTiddler" tooltip=... >From then on, *all* instances of the core new tiddler button will use the template when creating new tiddlers. Q.E.D. Note: modifying shadow tiddlers is discouraged because it will block automatic core upgrades to the modified shadows. However, in this particular use case, it is the right thing to do. Just be aware of this when/if you upgrade your document. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
