Hi Eric, We've run into a little snag with the *goaction* parameter. We can't seem to get it to work, neither in your example in the documentation <https://tiddlytools.github.io/InsideTW/empty.html#TiddlyTools%2FMacros%2Fcombobox%2Finfo>, nor in our own experimental tiddler <https://tiddlytest.github.io/#Playing%20with%20Eric%27s%20combobox%20and%20the%20%22goaction%22%20param>. Any idea what's going on? This is something we'd really like to use, for all sorts of purposes in our TiddlyCRM project.
Thanks in advance for any advice you offer, Hegart.
