Copying & Changing EditTemplate/tags goes wrong

[Alex]

Hi folks,

at the moment I‘m trying to reuse the code from $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/plugins for a specific EditTemplate but I am stuck.

I like the smooth mechanics behind this dropdown-list and edit-field. „Enter some chars and see whats there. Nothing for you? I‘ll create something new.“

That is exactly what I‘m looking for and I dig into the code from this tiddler. But I was not able to change the content of the shown dropdown list.

I want to show titles of tiddlers in this list which got the field value category:person. If there is no such person, I enter the name into the edit-field and a new tiddler with the field category:person and title:“input“ is created. All entered persons are not linked to the tiddler via tags but via a list in the field „members“. This field is editable directly or over this customized EditTemplate-Field.

This EditTemplate-field will be shown if I create a specific categorie of tiddlers (meetings) via a seperate NewMeetingButton.

Did anyone got a solution to this where I could read the code to understand exactly what this EdiTemplate-field is My biggest problem is, that the dropdown menu always shows tags even if I delete nearly every line of code. I not recognized any further link or transclusion to/of other tiddlers.

Do you have any advice?

Best regards

I realized it is the tag-picker Macro. :-) Its digging-time.
