automatic increment of a template field

[vpl]

Hi,

The recent post from Beer Tobias https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/TiddlyWiki/4K6EGJHmzSE explains how to combine a sum or calc macro with a action widget to set a field into a tiddly.

I have a button that create new tiddly from template and would like that a counter field, part of the the new created tiddly, is increment to 1 based on the value store in the template

Let say that my templateTiddler contains a "counter" field set to 5 initially

When I click on the "New Tiddler" the value from the templateTiddler counter is retrieved, incremented, set to the new tiddler (action set-field) and set also to the template tiddler (for the next time I will create a new tiddler).

Is that something easly possible with current widgets ?

Thanks for your answer

Regards

As far as I know, you can have any number of these in a button...

So, you could have one to increment the template counter

and another to set the field at your newly created tiddler.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Thanks very much for your answer.

Isn't their a way to have all of that done in the same Button. That's where I'm blocking.

Thanks a lot
