Can someone ELI5* how to use / work with fields as lists of tags? What are the limitations and methods for using them?
I understand that you can use buttons to edit the list, thanks to the listops widget (I think it's a widget), but I don't understand how it all goes together. Is it really just create a field and put items in it, like this? partofspeech: N:IN V:Tr22 V:Di12 Part:Case where V:Tr22 is a whole "tag" that I can subject to filters like [prefix[V:Tr], [suffix[22], and so forth? I'm particularly interested because I have fields in a dictionary TW that really should have multiple items, like part of speech above. A word can be a noun, several kinds of verbs, and an adverb, for example, and ideally, I'd like to be able to tag them all in there, filter on the tags in the field, etc. In other words, treat them just like a list. They wouldn't change a lot and I don't really need the tags visible since they're in the dictionary entry. I just need them for filtering. I also think using fields this way might be a way to solve another issue - some tags I don't want visible on certain kinds of tiddlers, but the solutions I've seen so far have been ... aesthetically unappealing to me ($:/ will work for some, but not all of them). Multicol dropdowns are great, but when I have literally 100 tags, it's impossible.
