Hmmm, this is odd. I tried on Tiddlywiki.com (5.1.19) by recreating your
data-tiddler, and then trying some basic transclude tests. Here are the
results.
{{Available List##Hamlet}}
{{Available List##Village}}
These both transcluded the FULL text of the tiddler(?!?), while
non-existent indexes returned nothing, and numeric indexes returned their
correct value.
<$transclude tiddler="Available List" index="Hamlet"/>
This returned Recursive transclusion error in transclude widget
Hmm, this may have to do with both numeric and non-numeric indexes in the
same tiddler and how the wiki manages data-tiddlers internally.
Have you tried with a JSON tiddler?
Best,
