Mark, Thanks for this suggestion. The irony is I want to build this "feature" to allow reordering through dragging values in a field, as part of a tool, that allows you to edit-fields in the tiddler view mode, which itself demands this edit-fields from another tiddler approach.
I am yet to develop a systematic way to do this, and until I do it seems hard to get my head around it. This is in fact the motivation for this edit-fields tools solution, because I am sick of having to wrap my head around bespoke solutions to edit-fields in the current tiddler, which for many is the most likely place they want to edit-fields. This is a gap in TiddlyWiki at the moment I raised a GitHub issue <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3350> I also created a collaborative document in Yammer <https://www.yammer.com/tiddlywiki/#/files/141096709> Regards TOny On Wednesday, July 4, 2018 at 3:23:25 PM UTC+10, Mark S. wrote: > > I think I see how this could work. > > In the draggable widget, use a corresponding (probably system tiddler) to > hold the value.
