Hello and thank you very much for providing another solution! I very much
appreciate the answers and also the information provided!
As a quick follow-up question:
For both methods:
<$action-setfield $tiddler=<<myTarget>>
<$action-setfield $tiddler={{!!target}}
If I wanted to add/append some static text to the end of the target field
value, how would I do so? I have tried various ways, using + or enclosing
the variable and text in " or brackets but can't seem to find the
combination.
For an idea:
Target = HTVW
<$action-setfield $tiddler=[<<myTarget>> Chapter 01] would produce a
Tiddler with the title of HTVW Chapter 01
<$action-setfield $tiddler={{{!!target}}+ Chapter 01} would produce a
Tiddler with the title of HTVW Chapter 01
Thank you again for your help and any additional information/solutions you
can provide!
