You can't combine literal text and a variable reference *inside* of a
quoted widget parameter. Instead, you should define a macro to combine the
values, and then refer to that macro as the parameter value, like this:
\define newTags() Task $(thisContext)$
<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler"
title="Task"
tags=<<newTags>>
priority="3"
/>
New Task for <<thisContext>>
</$button>
Alternatively, you can use an "inline filter" to construct the tags
parameter value, like this:
<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler"
title="Task"
tags={{{ [[Task ]] +[addsuffix<thisContext>] }}}
priority="3"
/>
New Task for <<thisContext>>
</$button>
This avoids the need to define a separate macro to construct the string.
Note that the "[[Task ]]" syntax has a trailing space inside the brackets.
This is important since the value is supposed to be a *space-separated*
list of tags.
Let me know how it goes...
enjoy,
