How to transclude <<actionTiddler>>'s text or <$set> its text to a variable?

[hubertgk]

Hello,

Is there a way to transclude <<actionTiddler>>'s text or <$set> its text to a variable?

Since <<actionTiddler>> is short-lived, in that it's created on drag and destroyed on drop, I assume that transcluding and setting its text to a variable would need to be performed using some kind of an <$action> within the <$droppable> widget.

The problem I have is that I'm unable to transclude <<actionTiddler>> in any way at all, even in that short period of time when this tiddler exists.

I can manipulate the <<actionTiddler>> itself (set its fields etc) but not read anything from it. Is that by design or is there a way to pass <<actionTiddler>>'s text, fields etc further?

In the example code below I'm trying to set <<actionTiddler>>'s text to a tiddler called _temp, however in this way I'm only setting its title, because {{actionTiddler}} would not work:

\define OnDrop()
<$action-setfield $tiddler=_temp text=<<actionTiddler>>/>
\end

<$droppable actions=<<OnDrop>>>
drop here
</$droppable>

<table>
<tr>
<<list-links filter:"[tag[test]]">>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Regards,
-Hubert

Ran into the same problem today. This code works for me on https://tiddlywiki.com/:

\define droppable-actions()

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-modal" $param="SampleModal" yourMessage={{{ [<actionTiddler>get[text]] }}}/>

\end

<$droppable actions=<<droppable-actions>>>

Drop tiddler here to display its content

</$droppable>

My solution is based on this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tiddlywikidev/vyJSu2UPzS8/RDaIbLy-AgAJ;context-place=forum/tiddlywiki
