Your code changed a bit. I don't have time to explain what I did, but if
you experiment with this it should help:
Macro: createTaskTiddler
\define basetitle() $(p1)$ Task: $(p2)$
\define createTaskTiddler()
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/state/new-task-title" tag="input" default=""
placeholder="Task Title"/>
<$button>
<$vars p2={{$:/state/new-task-title!!text}} p1="$(curTag)$" >
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle=<<basetitle>> tags="$(curTag)$" completed=
"false"/>
</$vars>
<$action-deletetiddler $tiddler="$:/state/new-task-title" />
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-auto-save-wiki"/>
Add Task
</$button>
\end
Template file (I took out the new sections you had added in order to
concentrate on the naming code, but you can paste those back in):
<$list filter="[is[current]tag[PR Tasks]]">
<$set name="curTask" value=<<currentTiddler>>>
<$list filter="[is[current]tags[]]+[!tag[PR Tasks]]">
<$set name="curTag" value=<<currentTiddler>>>
<<createTaskTiddler>>
</$set>
</$list>
</$set>
</$list>
Quickly, $(var)$ and $var$ only work INSIDE a macro. They also only work
when called from a prior macro (not inside the current macro). So if you
define a variable and want to use it immediately, you have to invoke it
like <<myvarname>>.
Good luck,
Mark
