This uses eval instead of your wrapper eval1. The button sets data cells
STATIC_RAN_01 and STATIC_RAN_02 to a random value. You can of course set up
as many static fields as you're going to need for your testing.
<$button>Set randoms
<$action-setfield $tiddler="data" $field="STATIC_RAN_01" $value=
<<eval datatiddler:"data" cell:"random1">>/>
<$action-setfield $tiddler="data" $field="STATIC_RAN_02" $value=
<<eval datatiddler:"data" cell:"random1">>/>
</$button>
