Yes. Fine !!! But on my 5.1.23, it seems to be tgat the action of $action-setfield is not immediate but postponed to the end of the action (ie when the matro called by actions=<<my-macro>> has terminated).
This is problematic for me as I was trying to increment a value within a loop by using $action-setfield in an action setup. I have tried my code on your new wiki, but I can't make it function in any way. I don't know why yet. I'm waiting for your answer about the moment when the field modification take place before trying anew (it might not be useful...) regards Le vendredi 23 avril 2021 à 17:30:21 UTC+2, jeremy...@gmail.com a écrit : > Hi Jean-Pierre > > In my quick test creating a new tiddler on tiddlywiki.com/prerelease and > entering the following, and then clicking the button, everything worked as > expected. > > <$button> > <$action-setfield $tiddler="HelloThere" $field=bar $value=42/> > test > </$button> > > Best wishes > > Jeremy > > On 23 Apr 2021, at 16:22, Jean-Pierre Rivière <jn.pierr...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi! > > I found out that to update to 42 the value of field "bar" in tiddler "foo" > I *must* use the syntax > > <$action-setfield $tiddler=foo bar=42/> > > and that the following has no effect that I cam see: > > <$action-setfield $tiddler=foo $field=bar $value=42/> > > although I would have thought both as valid from reading the doc. > > Is that normal (under tw5.1.23)?
