Hmm. Let me try again: At http://tombofhorrors.tiddlyspot.com/#Illustrations:Illustrations%20Description the author uses <<tabs>> to present images tagged with "Illustrations". This is ok, but not super ideal. I suggested he create a new tiddler called "Show the Illustrations" that made use of a list of tiddlers so that they could be identified and sorted. The <<tag Illustrations>> was of limited value, so I suggested he might use the list field instead (We ultimately ended up developing a tag-based macro <https://designwritestudio.updog.co/#Navigating%20Through%20A%20Set%20of%20Images> instead of using a list field...).
While exploring list fields, it was annoying to manually populate a list field with every tagged tiddler, so we wrote that short one-time use button script that essentially put the contents of the <<tags>> field into a <<list>> field of a specified tiddler. (It was also a way to introduce the use of the ActionListOps widget)(on reflection, there was probably a faster way to copy the contents of the tag field of a tiddler into the list field of another tiddler, but I didn't think of that until now). Our discussion generated some interesting questions about the nature of list fields, as well as the nature of the tags field, and when it was useful / appropriate to use tags and when it was useful / appropriate to use list fields. That's really my question. Thanks for seeking clarification :) //steve.
