Hello Adam, The following version works.
\define concatStateTiddler() <$set filter="[all[current]get[draft.of]] [all[current]!has[draft.of]] +[addprefix[$:/state/]]" name="kitty"><$text text=<<kitty>>/></$set> \end \define backup(value) <$wikify text=<<concatStateTiddler>> name=cst> <$view tiddler=<<cst>> field="""$value$"""/> </$wikify> \end You can't concatenate a <<variable>> inside text like that ... well ... maybe with a lot of patient application of wikify (which I needed anyways). Instead, I used the "addprefix" operator to do the concatenation, following up on a suggestion by Jeremy in an earlier post today. Note, all the extra space and line feeds had to be squeezed out of concatStateTiddler -- if GG puts them back in ... take them out. The <$text> widget was used to convert the resulting item (which would otherwise have been a link because *filter* generates a title list) into plain text, and <$wikify> was used to make the entire result of concatStateTiddler into a single variable. Hope this was something like what you wanted! -- Mark On Tuesday, February 12, 2019 at 4:58:14 PM UTC-8, admls wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I'm trying to populate a stylesheet, but I'm having trouble getting these > macros to work together.

Hence the first version of concatStateTiddler. But the first > version doesn't play nice with the backup macro.
