Nevermind. Figured it. It was to do with the action-setfield method - I
had to set the fields in the state tiddler first and *then* set again but
setting the title field to create the new tiddler. As below:
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/_opEditNode"
shorttext={{$:/_opTaskStore!!taskname}}
description=<<desctext>>
tags={{$:/_opTaskStore!!tags}}
nodetype= {{!!nodetype}}
createdby={{!!createdby}}
managedby={{!!managedby}}
owner={{!!owner}}
assignedto={{!!assignedto}}
taskstatus={{!!taskstat}}
taskpercentage={{$:/_opTaskStore!!taskpercentage}}
color={{$:/_opTaskStore!!color}}
duedate = {{$:/_opTaskStore!!duedate}}
stalldate = {{$:/_opTaskStore!!stalldate}}
completiondate = {{$:/_opTaskStore!!completiondate}}
tmap.edges={{$:/_opTaskStore!!tmapedges}}
/>
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/_opEditNode"
title=<<myfinal>>
tmap.id={{{ [[]make[%uuid%]] }}}
/>
