Also try this for a quick way to edit in the view mode a field on the
current tiddler
QuickFieldEdit - edit-field-list
Place this in a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate
<$list filter="[all[current]has[edit-field-list]]" variable=nul>
<$list filter={{!!edit-field-list}} variable=named-field>
<<named-field>> <$edit-text field=<<named-field>>/><br>
</$list>
</$list>
Now in any tiddler place a list of field names (space separated) in a field
called edit-field-list eg
caption description
And you can edit these as text fields in the view mode.

Tony
