Hi Tobias, Thanks for the info & samples. It really helped a lot.
>>Last but not least, I would not recommend adding numbers as prefixes to fields just to have them sorted in the editor. >>There needs to be a better way. One would be to use a custom editor for you to edit client data. Coincidentally that was the next issue I wanted solve. I'm trying to build a simple system to allow basic data entry of contacts and events with the contacts. Ideally a custom screen triggered by a button on an existing tiddler that allows the creation of a new tiddler based on a template and populates the various custom fields I require. I haven't managed to find any examples of a "custom editor". Can you provide any examples or links? Also out of curiosity why do you recommend against the number prefixing other than the ugliness?
