Tobias, Thank you for the response and the link to the schema tiddly. The way that template functions is really great. Your suggestion on changing the naming convention is also a really good one.
However, the reasoning as to why a field would its own tiddler (independent of the table) is because in this data dictionary, fields are being treated as concepts and not as subsets of a table. Let me explain... A Client_Number field will be the same whether it is on the Client_Table or the Account_Table. The *Business Description* or *Data Type* should not change, no matter what table they are in. The things that might change are whether or not that table allows nulls for that field or the fields origins, such as where it is ETLed from or when it is in a view from another table. Furthermore, while *SomeTable Notes* option that you suggested can be used, it creates extra tiddlers. Using a one field to one tiddler concept creates a simple conceptual parallel to the person filling out the data dictionary. Furthermore, using the transclude option allows an end user to print out the definition for all the columns in the table and not just the field names, which is what appears to happen with the tiddler you suggested. The template in that wiki is pretty awesome and should be commended, however, the use of the same *field* tiddler in multiple *table* tiddlers seems to be more versatile. The main crux of the issue is that when a field is used multiple times, such as Client_Number, then it would be easier to read the Client_Table definition without the Account_Table details getting in the way. While they are still pertinent, they should remain minimized until needed. Again, I thank you for your time and showing a different way on how to accomplish this task. However, I am still on my endeavor on figuring this out. The $reveal widget, should be the way to go. However, I do not understand how to set the state based on the tiddler name. If you or anyone else has any guidance it would be greatly appreciated.
