Hello,

I created a new tiddler, and added many custom fields to it, and filled the field values.
But when I saved and viewed it, none of the fields or values was displayed.
How can I fix this?

Hi Radim,
the simplest way to do this is by using curly brackets. If you have a tiddler called tid1, then you can include its contents (actual what is in its text field) in another tiddler by

{{tid1}}

This is called transclusion. If tid1 has some other field called 'otherstuff', you can transclude this other field by

{{{tid1!!otherstuff}}

If you want to transclude a field in the same tiddler, leave of the tiddler name:

{{!!otherstuff}}

all the best

Fields are sort of hidden features. They do not display in the body of the tiddler, only the text does (which is a field itself, albeit a secret one, so is the title). Fields are used mostly for plugins, macros and widgets.

Hi,


in order to display the fields, you have these options:


1. enter in the text field of the tiddler: <$view field="fieldname"/>
