Hi Mat > Aha, so the SetWidget "remakes" the filter output (which is originally a set > of tiddlers <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Filters>) into a list. That's interesting.
No. The output of the filter is a list. The standard TiddlyWiki way of storing a list as a string is to quote the entries in the list with spaces. There’s no “remaking” that I can see. > I suspect that sometimes what you actually want is to access the first > element of the list as a single item, without the list quoting. > > Just to make sure; IF one would want any other element than particularly the > first one, this could then be controlled in the filter (using nth), right?

Should I post an issue? Perhaps “Extend <$set> widget to allow saving filter results as a single entry”?
