This is a macro to clicked and manually create a title for state tiddler.
\define create_id_from_timedata(prefix) $prefix$-<<now [UTC]
YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ssXXX>>
\define uniqueId(prefix:id)
<$wikify name=id text=<<create_id_from_timedata """$prefix$""">> >
<$button class="tc-btn-invisible" message="tm-copy-to-clipboard" param=<<id
>> >
{{$:/core/images/copy-clipboard}} create unique id
</$button>
</$wikify>
\end
call it like
<<uniqueId mystate>>
The most important drawback is: it is manual!
What do you think?
