The idea was to have a little textfield for each student - for temporary notes. Sometimes it would be neccesary to have more than 1 row (as provided by the input popup for the selectmacro).. When I use: <<select [[text@"+tiddler.title+"]] rows:n width:100% allowOther [[+"+tiddler.title+"]] allowEdit$)) without +[[""]]+ (I can't make it work with those around the expression - don't know why.?.) I can choose the "other-option" to change the textfield directly (which is quite usable!!) or I can choose "editList" - and it does the same thing as <<editTiddler [["+tiddler.title+"]]$)) - namely opens the tiddler in question in editmode... It's just the appearance of the "dropdownchooser" (I do know I can give it more rows with the "n"-parameter but still...) and the "editotherpopup"s 1line row, which annoys me.
To get a "nicelooking" design for the table - I consider using your latest suggestion: <<editTiddler [["+tiddler.title+"]]$)) in conjunction with <<wikify [[text@"+tiddler.title+"]] \>\>(Don't know if this works yet..) Then I can watch the wikified text from the tiddler in question in one cell and the editbutton is next to it in another cell... Thank you for your kind help!!
