I'm probably unclear because I am assuming there is a way to add a custom field once only, and have it show up in all Tiddlers globally, or within a 'sub-story' or whatever a particular branch of content hierarchy is called.
Am I wrong? If so, this means opening every single Tiddler to add this field, which is a pain. On Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 1:58:15 PM UTC-5, S.
