Hi Christopher,
Sorry, I don't have any answers for your questions, but I just wanted to say that I was impressed with what you've done here. I've spent the last week or two trying to achieve something similar, except I'm using a Google Sheets spreadsheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1341Gky9t1hXHVKFxB8RsCfVrsKEQN2ok0adGoSpEZzE/edit?usp=sharing> as my source data, and creating pseudo-random company tiddlers <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/odu3my97ujyxz4h/SampleData-testing.html>, with pseudo-random contact details, employees, and just today I've added individual communications with those companies, as per the screenshot example below. <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xsm4emv70c35z8l/160403_auckland_food_company_sampledata_example.png> I'm doing this for my *{{DesignWrite}}* <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/tk91wqty552z6z1/designwrite.html> semester project <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/tk91wqty552z6z1/designwrite.html#SemesterProject>, TiddlyCRM <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/CRM/tiddlywiki/9PSw_3OsyyE/qsq9prjaHgAJ>. I hadn't considered using TobiBeer's *random[ ]* filter plugin for this before. I guess the main difference between your solution and mine is that you have to have the tiddlers in your wiki first to create new random ones from them. Mine starts with a completely blank TiddlyWiki, and I just import the tiddlers from JSON files, via the CSV to JSON converter <http://www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-json.htm>, from the spreadsheet. Interesting to see a different approach to this. Thanks for sharing. Hegart.
