[TW5] Using results of list in tag checkboxes

[Matthew Petty]

This must have been answered somewhere, but I can't find it.

I want use the results of a list to create a set of checkboxes. I have GTD-style task contexts as tiddlers with the prefix "@". I want to have a set of checkboxes at the top of each task with these contexts available as the tags to be selected.

I have this:

<$list filter="[prefix[@]sort[title]]">
<$checkbox tag={{!!title}}> {{!!title}}</$checkbox>
</$list>

which returns:

[ ] @Work [ ] @Home

But when I click on the checkbox for @Work, the tiddler @Work is tagged with @Work. What I want to happen is that whatever tiddler this checkbox is in is tagged with @Work.

What syntax did I get wrong?

Hi Matthew,

try this:

\define xxx()
<$list filter="[prefix[@]sort[title]]" variable="test">
<$checkbox tag=<<test>>> <<test>></$checkbox>
</$list>
\end

<<xxx>>

I did use a variable named test. You should adjust the name, so it fits your project better.

have fun!
