1) From the link you provided (FormTiddlerPlugin <http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#FormTiddlerPlugin>), follow the "examples" link (at the bottom of the Description section of the plugin tiddler) 2) select BiggerForm from the table of examples 3) View the source of BiggerForm and note this: <<formTiddler BiggerFormTemplate>> 4) Find BiggerFormTemplate in the sidebar tabs and open it 5) View the source of BiggerFormTemplate and note this: <select name=browser > <option>Firefox <option>Internet Explorer <option>Opera <option>Other </select > The syntax used by FormTiddlerPlugin in BiggerFormTemplate is *standard HTML*. Thus, to create a droplist that sets a field based on the selection, use something like this: <select name="graph.fillstyle" size="1"> <option value="black">Pending</option> <option value="white">Completed</option> </select > notes: * size="1" makes it a droplist instead of a listbox, * value="..." sets a value other than the displayed text (i.e., "black" instead of "Pending", "white" instead of "Completed") * correct use of </option> to end each list item That should do it.
