@Tony Interesting to see what you're up to as well. Reminds me of when we first got fields in TWC and I went crazy with templates :)
The interface you see in the video is what I use for tiddlers that use the default template (this being my default). For tiddlers with custom templates I too use custom fields, that are defined with editing elements, autocomplete and even some validation rules as need be.... but in the view template. I have found that I tend to not enjoy large forms and therefore initialize tiddlers in context to pick up most of the details and fill in the rest in the view template as need be. But that's more about UX design preferences and personal workflows, than it is about TiddlyWiki. I would throw up some screenshots but they wouldn't make much sense out of context. I was prompted to share this by my Mat's questioning my statement in the Streams thread, that I rarely ever use the default EditTemplate.
