Hi, Andreas.
Your post actually gave me just the right nudge to figure out the problem.
Here is the code that ended up working. I am using Skeeve's newtiddler
plugin.
<$set name="proj_owner" value={{$:/status/UserName}}>
<$set name="proj_start_date" value=<<now YYYY-0MM-0DD>>>
<$newtiddler title="New Project"
skeleton="$:/plugins/kurt/projects/template/project">New
Project</$newtiddler>
</$set></$set>
Then in my project template, I have proj_owner and proj_start_date fields
set to $(proj_owner)$ and $(proj_start_date)$, respectively.
To be honest, I still am not 100% sure what I was doing wrong. I would have
sworn I tried the above approach, but apparently not. At any rate, it works
now, so I am happy.
Thanks for your help.
