Mark, I have used the template and saved every tiddler in this case. I had hundreds not thousands and it was quite quick.
Yes I am aware of that work around, but hope my Git Hub Request <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FJermolene%2FTiddlyWiki5%2Fissues%2F4022&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGnMP8uiCxMVLK27Kl3BOLt8YYbNg>gets honored before being faced with thousands. I have however planned to build a way to iterate all the fields in one tiddler and apply them to another existing tiddler, its a way of changing a tiddler from one to another "type", and allows for a few other tricks. eg task to contact, task to reference etc...
