Hi all,

I'm only a few days into using TiddlyWiki, so please pardon my ignorance. 

This is what I am trying to do


   1. make a drop down list populated dynamically based on tags - I have 
   been successful in doing this. 
   2. create a button that when clicked, created a new draft widget with 
   the a title that has the words chosen in 1 as part of its title (but not 
   exactly it, it has some words added to what was selected).


This is the macro I have so far:


\define newHereButtonTags()
[[$(currentTiddler)$]]
\end

\define testWhy()
<$view tiddler=<<qualify "select-profile">>>
\end

\define newHereButton()
<$button>
<$action-sendmessage
  $message="tm-new-tiddler"
title=<<testWhy>>
  tags=<<newHereButtonTags>> />
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>prefix[yes]]">
{{$:/core/images/chevron-up}}
</$list>
</$button>
\end 

<$select tiddler=<<qualify "select-profile">> default=''>
<$list filter='[sort[title]tag[JustSOmeTags]]'>
<option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option>
</$list>
</$select>

<<newHereButton>>
<<testWhy>>


I created the dropdown list, it is correctly populated with the tags 
[justsomeTags]


What happens is that when I press the button <<newHereButton>>, it does 
indeed create a new draft widget, and it tags it automatically with the 
title of the $(currentTiddler)$.


However, for the life of me I can't figure out why the title of the draft 
is not getting fetched properly. What I am getting is something like: 
<$view tiddler=<<qualify "select-profile">>> as the title.


The ultimate goal is to have the title of the new tiddler to be: " title of 
the parent tiddler (the one that has the button)" + appended text based one 
what was selected using the selectWidget drop down list.
