You need another macro to concatenate the name and field from which you
want to retrieve the new tiddler name. And you need the wikify widget to
turn that transclusion into a value. Like this:
\define editedname() {{$(statetiddler)$!!newtitle}}
\define maketid()
<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title="$(tidlernewtitle)$"
tags="OneTag [[Another Tag]]" text=<<now "Today is DDth, MMM YYYY">>/>
New Tiddler
</$button>
\end
<$set name="statetiddler" value=<<qualify 'new-tiddler'>>>
<$edit-text tiddler=<<statetiddler>> field='newtitle' placeholder="Title"
tag="input" default=""/>
<$wikify name=tidlernewtitle text=<<editedname>> >
<<maketid>>
</$wikify>
</$set>
It must have been possible to do this before the Wikify widget, but it's
hard to imagine how.
Good luck,
Mark
