Hi Hubert Apologies, I’m struggling a little to understand what you’re trying to do, and the context for the original code. Perhaps you could post an absolutely minimal test case that illustrates what you’re trying to do? The code in the original post has a bunch of styling etc. that gets in the way of understanding it, and it looks like it might be incomplete (eg there’s no closing </$set>).
Perhaps the problem is just that you want to set the variables curentVal, targetVal etc. such that they can be accessed within the Updated_status macro? If so, you should be able to wrap set widgets around the <$button> widget within the Button macro. One little thing I noticed trying to read your original code is that you’ve got a macro: \define CurrentTiddler() <<currentTiddler>> \end But then you are invoking it via text substitution: <$action-setfield $tiddler="_data000" $index=$(CurrentTiddler)$ $value=$(Updated_status)$/>⥁Status</$button> Because there’s no wikification done during text substitution, that is equivalent to: <$action-setfield $tiddler="_data000" $index=<<currentTiddler>> $value=$(Updated_status)$/>⥁Status</$button> Best wishes Jeremy > On 3 Nov 2017, at 13:01, hubertgk <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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).
