Oh apparently my <<addtimestamp test2>> tries to put the *entire contents *of the addtimestamp macro into the test2 tiddler. I think this is why it breaks. Can I not use <$set ...> </$set> within a macro? Or what is going on here?
This works fine if I use \define concat(a b) $a$ $b$ \def <$set name="curtext" tiddler="test2" > <$set name="ts" value=<<now [UTC]YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ssXXX>> > <$button> <$action-setfield $tiddler="test2" text=<<concat $(curtext)$ $(ts)$>> /> test </$button> </$set> </$set> It just looks ugly. -Petri On Friday, January 8, 2021 at 11:49:11 AM UTC+2 Petri M. wrote: > I have a todo list and I would like to automatically add a timestamp to > each tiddler's title so that each todo-tiddler has a unique title.
