This version: <$button> <$list filter="[all[current]fields[]]" variable="fieldname"> <$list filter="[all[current]get<fieldname>prefix[1]suffix[1]]" variable="dummy" > <$list filter="[title<fieldname>getindex[origin]]" variable="origin"> <$action-setfield $field="aaa" $value=<<origin>>/> <<origin>> </$list> </$list> </$list> </$button>
Will put the final value of <<origin>> into the "aaa" field of the current tiddler (I'm not sure if that's what you meant to do, but that's what it does). The main thing was to make $value=<<origin>>. When you assign a macro/variable inside a widget you need the <<notation>> without quotes. As a digression, the exception to this rule might when you use the wikify widget, which has the ability to look inside a string of wikitext and render it the way it would as wikitext and then assign it to a variable. The other thing, is that you didn't use a button or other widget to activate the ActionSetField widget. All the Action-Do-Thingies need to be activated by some event (typically a button, radio button, select widget, etc.) The main point, I think, is to prevent actual changes to your TW from occurring until you're actually ready.
