Hi Tony,
What you are looking for is declared in `boot.js`before the wiki is
actually started, from line 994:
```
/*
Register and install the built in tiddler field modules
*/
$tw.modules.define("$:/boot/tiddlerfields/modified","tiddlerfield",{
name: "modified",
parse: $tw.utils.parseDate,
stringify: $tw.utils.stringifyDate
});
$tw.modules.define("$:/boot/tiddlerfields/created","tiddlerfield",{
name: "created",
parse: $tw.utils.parseDate,
stringify: $tw.utils.stringifyDate
});
$tw.modules.define("$:/boot/tiddlerfields/color","tiddlerfield",{
name: "color",
editTag: "input",
editType: "color"
});
$tw.modules.define("$:/boot/tiddlerfields/tags","tiddlerfield",{
name: "tags",
parse: $tw.utils.parseStringArray,
stringify: $tw.utils.stringifyList
});
$tw.modules.define("$:/boot/tiddlerfields/list","tiddlerfield",{
name: "list",
parse: $tw.utils.parseStringArray,
stringify: $tw.utils.stringifyList
});
```
I think this is worth exploring, but will have to think on it. You should
be able to setup a startup module to define other parse/stringify
definitions.
Best,
Joshua Fontany
