Use tabwidths instead of tabstops. I was working off faulty memory.

Cool stuff! Didn't know you could hide things with tab, and will have to
look at metadata now. Thanks!

That’s right! tabwidths are handy for this hiding too.
But I realized Tiemo might not even need to bother hiding the otherData if
he takes advantage of another property of fields - the metadata property:
set the metadata of line 1 of field 1 to otherDataString
set the metadata of line 2 of field 1 to otherDataString2
A field’s metadata is never visible.
Yet the otherData strings will travel along with each line as the user
drags the the lines up and down.
LiveCode offers so much flexibility! We can usually have a choice of
approaches to any problem
