Dave, The Quickest and easiest way to do I is to have a button appear when the tiddler is opened, via a view template entry. Yes you will have to click it.
Perhaps http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#TriggerActions%20Plugin can do It, I am not sure. I have wanted something similar but was told we have to make a change in the navigation mechanism, which is not so strait forward, and is likely to have a performance impact. I have managed to get an action on close by adding an action to the Close button, But the Close all (page Button) will bypass it, and close all does not ”know" which tiddler your are using. *Another way* You could build your own tiddler, that contains a custom button that not only sets the field as you wish, but also opens the target for view or edit. As long as you click on that button to open the target tiddler you can get what ever actions you want to happen inside the definition of that button. Perhaps a tiddler containing the Button could be added to ($:/tags/AboveStory for elements to be placed at the top of the story river) Even better would be a way to add a field to any tiddler eg; on-open-action, then a special tiddler/Menu will list all such tiddlers, and provide a button which on click will transclude the on-open-action field in that button (and execute it on click), this is speculations on my part. *Basically what I am saying is if you provide a convenient way to open a tiddler in the first place you can determine what also Happens when opening it. It is not so easy to try and trap the opening of any tiddler, and respond with actions when a specific tiddler is opened. However their may be a hack no one has though of yet.* Regards Tony On Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 12:23:08 PM UTC+11, Dave wrote: > > I'd like to have that action happen when one specific tiddler opens.
