Hi Tony,
Here's a first pass at your original request. Make a global macro:
\define dragoncopy(copyfield)
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/fields/$(currentTiddler)$" fieldname=
"""$copyfield$""" fieldvalue={{!!$copyfield$}}/>
\end
\define dragonfield(field)
<$draggable tiddler="$:/fields/$(currentTiddler)$" startactions=<<dragoncopy
"$field$">>>{{!!$field$}}</$draggable>
\end
\define dragondrop3(tid,fieldname)
<$action-setfield $field="$fieldname$" $value={{$tid$!!fieldvalue}}/>
\end
\define dragondrop2(tid)
<$macrocall $name=dragondrop3 tid="$tid$" fieldname={{$tid$!!fieldname}}/>
\end
\define dragondrop()
<$macrocall $name="dragondrop2" tid=<<actionTiddler>>/>
\end
\define dragonzone(label)
<$droppable actions=<<dragondrop>>>$label$</$droppable>
\end
Invoke the drag object like this:
<<dragonfield "field1">>
and in another tiddler put the drop zone like this:
<<dragonzone "Drop Here!">>
Have fun
