Thank you all for the responses. I am not certain transclusion will work for what I am wanting to accomplish. Below is additional detail around what I am needing to use this for:
I have two fields for each tiddler. The first field is *Bucket*, which is intended to capture the high level bucket that the tiddler falls under in my life. The second field is *Primary Topic*, which is intended to capture the main topic the tiddler falls under. To (hopefully) give a simple example of this, suppose I have three tiddlers. *Tiddler1* talks about the definition of prayer. *Tiddler2* gives an example of a short prayer that we can pray today. *Tiddler3* talks about Matthew 6 and how Jesus taught his disciples how to pray. Two buckets I have are "Theology" (notes pertaining to the *academic/objective* *field* of Theology) and "My Christian Life" (notes that are applicable to my *personal *spiritual life). In the three tiddlers above, I would have the following values in the two fields: *Tiddler1* would have "Theology" in the *Bucket *field, and "Prayer" in the *Primary Topic *field. *Tiddler2* would have "My Christian Life" in the *Bucket *field, and "Prayer" in the *Primary Topic *field, as I can use this example in my prayer life. *Tiddler3* would have BOTH "Theology" and "My Christian Life" in the *Bucket *field, and "Prayer" in the *Primary Topic *field, as this pertains to a biblical commentary on Matthew 6 while also providing an example of prayer I can use in my personal prayer life. What I want is an additional field that automatically concatenates the *Bucket *values with the *Primary Topic *values. In the examples above, this additional field would have "Theology-Prayer" for *Tiddler1*, "My Christian Life-Prayer" for *Tiddler2*, and "Theology-Prayer,My Christian Life-Prayer" for *Tiddler3*. *If it helps, I have a background in Salesforce and this concept is somewhat similar to how Salesforce does many-to-many relationships.
