List of tiddlers in field

[Sebastián Ortega]

Hello,

I'm trying to organize a tiddlywiki in which I have a series of authors by using fields instead of just tags for everything and I have some problems.

I'm adding this to the view template with the intention of displaying author nationality and the fields he or she contributes:

<$list filter="[all[current]tag[Author]]">
  <span class="icon">{{$:/core/images/globe}}</span>
  <$macrocall $name="tag" tag={{!!nationality}}/> |
  <span class="icon">{{$:/core/images/info-button}}</span>
  <$list filter="[all[current]get[fields]]">
    <$macrocall $name="tag" tag=<<currentTiddler>>/>
  </$list>
</$list>

However, this doesn't create a separate tag pill per field but a single one with both fields concatenated. Here I was expecting one pill for Economics and another for Investing:

I know it's due to the filter I'm using but I can't manage to find the right one by myself.

Do you know how to do this?

In your use-case, "fields" is the name of a single tiddler field that contains a space-separated *list* of fieldnames, and the get[fields] filter is just returning the entire value of that field as a single text string.  To get each entry from the "fields" list as a separate item, you can use the enlist operator, like this:

<$list filter="[all[current]enlist{!!fields}]">

enjoy,

-e

There was another problem with my first snippet. Using the fields field works during the session but the data is not saved. I supposed it's because of a name clash with some reserved name. I've renamed it to "area".
