Is there a way to refresh all open tiddlers without refreshing the wiki as a whole?

Use case is that I use TW for project management, and often have a number of tiddlers open. Many of them show stats around either the current date, number of dates from current date to due date, etc. When I come back to the computer the next day, obviously all of those dates / duration values are wrong, and so they need to be refreshed/recalculated.

I can obviously to a full save and browser refresh, though I lose my story, and sometimes I don't actually *want* to save it. Sometimes I'm finding instead that I open each in edit view and then discard changes which fixes it. Just wondering if there's another way to accomplish this. I guess programmatically flipping through each tiddler in StoryList and sending edit-mode/read-mode messages?

Hi,
The StoryList can be saved. Open the ControlPanel : Info page. The DefaultTiddlers setting allows you to click the "retain story ordering"
button.
The default tiddlers are also shown, if you click the Home Button.

Ok, thanks PMario. I was trying to see if I could avoid the browser refresh, but it's only a minor annoyance. I run my wiki though the web, so a refresh means I have to be online (and because I use SharePoint behind corporate firewall, it's a little slower). I think if I want to avoid that, I'm best to run a loop against all open tiddlers in StoryList and flip edit-mode/read-mode or something. Just thought there might be some kind of "message" or something I could trigger instead.
