Thank you very much for this Jeremy.
With the corrected syntax, {{!!my-field-name}}, the field transclusions are
derived from the current tiddler that's understood as the very tiddler that
has the macro and the transclusions themselves (the 'dashboard' tiddler in
my original description). I'm aware that this is expected behaviour.
What I would need is transclude the fields of other tiddlers ('tracker'
tiddlers), without explicitly specifying those tiddlers' names -- the name
should be provided by the list filter:
<$list filter="[tag[tracker]] +[sort[name]]">
This is why I was trying to use <currentTiddler> as I was hoping to
transclude the fields of a <currentTiddler> that's currently listed by the
list filter.
When I transclude fields using <currentTiddler> within the above list
filter, the respective fields are transcluded correctly but when I use
<$set> within the above list filter, the set values are no longer available
to the macro that's defined outside of the above <$list></$list>.
I'm sorry if that's a bit convoluted way of thinking, I'm still learning TW
and though I've been experimenting a lot, I'm still making many basic
mistakes in the process. That said, I'm amazed at what TW can do. Thank you
Jeremy for creating and maintaining such an amazing tool!
@PMario, thanks for your suggestions, they definitely sound interesting.
I'll experiment with them in the future; unfortunately they don't seem to
help in my use case.
Best regards,
Hubert
