Neat use-case! I will have to poke at this. My JsonMangler plugin is also
intended for use in a tabletop gaming wiki, but I have not played around
with the other style Data Tiddler.
But what you are most likely running into is that *{{this}}* is a shortcut
for a pair of nested widgets:
<$tiddler tiddler="this" ><$transclude tiddler="this" /></$tiddler>
Which sets the <<currentTiddler>> variable to "this", and _then_
transcludes the contents of "this" into that context.
Not sure on just scanning why this would break your translcusion, but try:
<$tiddler tiddler="Available List"><$transclude tiddler="Available List"
index="Hamlet"/></$tiddler>
See if there is any different behavior.
Best,
Joshua Fontany
