Mark, for you and others that may pass this way,
As I expect you know this is the behaviour of the filters as well, so you
could have a filter
<$list filter={{!!filter-field}}>
</$list>
where filter-field = a a b c c d a
and it will still remove duplicates
Of course in Wiki Text {{!!filter-field}} continues to return the original
This is of course because of an assumption that we are dealing with tiddler
titles which are unique so de-duping them makes sense and is very helpful
98% of the time.
<$list filter="[list[DependantSelect!!filter-field]nth[2]]" variable=result>
<<result>><br>
</$list>
even this above returns the nth after de-duping.
I have seen mention of an action that does bypass this but do not recall
where.
I am investigating, its a challenge worthy of resolution here are some
current thoughts
- Would storing these values in a datatiddler overcome this?
- Why would string operators not do this (they seem not to) or are they
really title operators?
I have come to realise this was possibly a conceptual fact not spelled out
sufficiently in the documentation,
and by not providing a way to bypass it, makes it even more confusing
because it seems obvious you should be able to do it.
Regards
Tony
