I did create a PR at github <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4454>, that allows the qualify-macro to use a isUnique parameter. So you can use <<qualify "my-unique-title" isUnique:"yes">> .. So the macro doesn't add -123456 string. It returns the input state text. > My question is: > > Is there any other ways to create unique stateTiddler?
