Select tiddler doesn't populate if only one option ??

[Mark S.]

Not sure if this counts as a bug, but ...

This example, almost taken from TiddlyWiki.com

Select source:
<$select tiddler="$:/Generate_source" default='Incoming'>
<$list filter='[tag[DATA]sort[title]]'>
<option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option>
</$list>
</$select>

What I found is that $:/Generate_source never gets populated if there is only 1 selection. You have to create at least two options in order to activate the population mechanism.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark

I don’t think it's a bug. The new value is assigned to the target tiddler when the entry in the select widget is changed by the user. If there’s only one entry then it can’t be changed, and so won’t be updated.

Best wishes

Jeremy

I always do the following for my selects:

Select source:
<$select tiddler="$:/Generate_source" default='Incoming'>


    <option value=""> -- </option>
    <$list filter='[tag[DATA]sort[title]]'>

Thanks -- that's a good tip.
