I also have two small problems. I need the planet field that's passed in the second action widget to be the name of the planet surrounded in dual square brackets, but whatever I try doesn't work. Is there a way I can escape the square brackets or concatenate strings to get them to be constructed

Actually, as it stands, it doesn't do much. Is there a way I can access a tiddler's fields within the tiddler? For example, if a tiddler has a planet field, is there some way I can put the planet field into the tiddler's text field? On Tue, Dec 29, 2015 at 4:09 AM, Tobias Beer
