This is actually what you experienced: - I guess you created a blank tiddler, and typed <$visjstimeline/> there - since you did not pass any value to any attribute, the plugin uses defaults. In particular, for the two relevant attributes here: 1. filter has value [!is[system]], which means all tiddlers that are not system tiddlers are selected for insertion into the timeline 2. startDateField has value created, which means all the selected tiddlers must have a field called "created", and the contents of this field will be used as start date on the timeline - unfortunately, in your case, the plugin found your tiddler "MySubStoryList", but when it wanted to insert it into the timeline, found that it did not have a "created" field, or that its contents where not using the specified format - so, the plugin shows a blue popup with this error message, to tell you what went wrong - then, when you discard the popup, the timeline is shown, only not with these tiddlers that generated errors - but, by reading the blue popup, you know what to do to have them shown: in your case, the "created" field is automatically created and set appropriately when you close the tiddler's draft and save your tiddlywiki. If you do that, the timeline should refresh and show your tiddler !
