Mark, Sorry, but it is hard to explain what I want without reference to how to accomplish it when there are a lot of terms I am still becomming familular with.
Of course I did ask at the top of the post "Edit fields in Current Tiddler" I have published a version of my work at https://tiddlywiki.psat.com.au use the table of contents to select applications and "application template" tiddlers. The Bottom of which "application template" has some attempts to use editnsave. Your replys suggest you do know what I need and Edit and save may be the answer. I would like edit and save to reference fields in the Application templaye (or its copies) and allow sub tiddlers (in tabs) to use it as well. All Most tiddlers are tagged "Object Dev". The Site itself is DRAFT only I have actualy spent more time building the demo than reinvestigating the editnsave issue. But I have published to make it visible. I will look into it further after I get some real work done :) Regards Tony On Friday, August 11, 2017 at 9:14:29 AM UTC+10, Mark S. wrote: > > It's better if you explain what it is that you want to accomplish than > insist on how it gets accomplished. > > The variable <<currentTiddler>> is available to all "children" of a > tiddler, assuming that by children you mean transcluded or templated > tiddlers.
