Hello Jed, I will help you look it over but one thing I would do, is start refactoring some of the code. The is some bits of repeating that you could pull out. For example, your SumField and SumFieldFull and nearly identical. Just call SumField as need in SumFieldFull through your loop. This reduces the amount of code you need to maintain and avoids any mistakes you may have created while copying blocks of code.
Because of the nature of TiddlyWiki's plugin mechanism it is rather difficult to debug in browser (or at least that I have found). Sprinkle your code liberally with log outputs and rebuild your plugin. With some good refactoring, and strategic placement of console.log you probably can narrow the problem area quickly.
