Hi *c pa*, thanks for that. So, it looks like once your "person" object tiddler has been created, its title field is inviolate, and cannot be edited by the user. What is the initial value of the title field at creation time? If it is a name, say title:Joe Bloggs, what happens when the user then comes along and uses your *<$edit>* widgets to change the firstname and surname fields to firstname:Jane and surname:Doe but the title still shows as title:Joe Bloggs? That is one of the things I'm trying to avoid having happen.
