Folks, Perhaps I am off track, but I may as well voice observations during my learning process, that may have a baring on future enhancements. As I learn about filters and fields I was using the advanced search to investigate the filter [fields[]] which lists the names of all fields in the tiddlywiki. Of note is the list of links generated lend themselves to creating tiddlers using each fields name.
The parallel you would all be familiar with is tags and how you can create tiddlers for each tag. Usefully then you can see references, tagged, list and listed for that tag. In fact tag tiddlers are a great place to build logic or views of your tiddlywiki by that tag, for example a References tag, open the references tiddler and see a list of all references... So, I thought, what if fields are treated the same?, any field-name can become a tiddler (already a fact), But what if we take this "feature" further and allow default or possible values to be placed in a fields corresponding tiddler, on that tiddlers fields and supplement the Info button with field references? This could betaken further to define a fields qualities even further such as allowable formats eg: number only, 2 decimal places etc... As I discovered earlier it is actually practical to store in existing tiddler fields, macro names, variable names and more so such an approach to make fields a first class citizen could open up a universe of possibilities further strengthening tiddly-wikis universal and Quine nature.
