\define getStateName()
    $:/temp/TiddlerRef$(currentTiddler)$
\end

Macros can only perform text substitution for parameters and variables.

Hello Saq

how to call it without clicking a button?

[Saq Imtiaz]

action widgets cannot be called without some user input, e.g. a button or checkbox etc. Perhaps describe in more detail what you are trying to achieve.

ok i did it with a button (still testing) but it is switching to the newly generated tiddler

all i want is create a tiddler with the new title and fill it with the title of the currenet tiddler to use it for search

It might help to explain what you are trying to accomplish. Why do you want to transfer the title to a text field for searching? You can already search titles directly??

I can give more details but if you make your own new tiddler button you can just use  text=<<currentTiddler>> to populate the text field with the currentTiddler title.
