Creating a new tiddler with fields and adding a button to the view template

[Sam Drost]

I see in the documentation that the new tiddler message can take a paramObject that is a hashmap of fields the new tiddler can have. What does the hashmap look like, and is there a way I can add a button to the view template that will create this tiddler with the current tiddler as a tag (like the create here button).

Unfortunately my answer to the first part of your question is 'I don't know', but I do have an alternate solution.

I have never figured out how to use the new tiddler message like that, I have always used the action-setfield widget instead.

Because my brain doesn't want to focus on actual work today, I wrote a bit about how to make the button here. It kinda rambles a bit, but it should cover what is needed.

If anyone can tell us how to use the paramObject as an input to the tm-new-tiddler message that would be awesome.

From wikitext you can specify the fields of the hashmap as attributes of the <$action-sendmessage> widget. For example:

<$button>

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" my-field="123" modifier="Joe Bloggs"/>

Demo

</$button>

Best wishes
