Stephan,
BOTTOM LINE: Things are now working as I need them to be working. Project
number in the title was dropped. "Inheriting" a field value (the project
number, in this case) in a new tiddler was added.
I think it is more important to have the date/timestamp in the title (to
help keep titles unique, and to easily organize them by date), than to have
the project number in the title. While I would still like the project
number there, I'm dropping this requirement. Thank you for asking your
questions, as they forced me to re-evaluate my true needs.
Being able to "inherit" the project number from the host/parent tiddler
when creating a new tiddler is, however, important for other kinds of
tiddler organization. You've shown how this can be done; I'll have to
research why this works because it emphasizes my lack of understanding of
TW and scope of values.
I've chosen to not explore your auto-incrementing project number, but I
appreciate the suggestion.
As a result, I've got things working the way I need them to work. At least
until I come with a new requirement.
Thanks again!
~Mark
P.S. How are these posts marked as "Complete", so other helpful folks don't
have to go through everything just to find out the problem is resolved?
