Hi Matabele
Neat :-)
As I understand it the maketid widget creates the tiddler if it doesn't
exist already - and appends the specified field and fieldvalue at the same
time..
If the tiddler doesn't exist already the maketid widget and set field
widget will write fields & values to the existing tiddler, however the
maketid will also create a new tiddler with a numbered appendix to the
title - and this tiddler won't get fields & values set by the widgets...
It seems a little unuseful that maketid will create an extra tiddler
without fields & values....
What might an use case be?
Hmm. Maybe it would be good if maketid didn't create a new tiddler - if the
targetted already exists - however this might be the basis for writing yet
another widget - or have some additional parameter telling maketid not to
create a tiddler if the original tiddler title already exists...
As if I knew what I was talking about ... ;-)
Cheers Måns Mårtensson
