How to add and delete some fields to / from a big set of tiddlers?

[Uwe]

Hi,

is there an easy way to do so? I would like to avoid to do it manually.😀

Maybe the batchmanipulator is of use.

Uwe,

I believe you will need to use a button with a filter inside it and action widget(s).

An Example similar to what you ask is https://tiddlywiki.com/#ActionDeleteTiddlerWidget

which deletes the tiddlers in the filter, but you could rework this to use the actions

ActionDeleteFieldWidget

ActionSetFieldWidget

Search the google group and I expect you will find this answered before.

Regards

Tony

This may be an option too: https://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2FManager

Maybe? YES, INDEED! I never saw such a cool tool for Tiddlywiki and I would recommend it to build it into the core of TW5.

Congratulations for this useful and mighty piece of software.

If someone searches for a tool to have the control over many tiddlers with lots of different tags and fields, this one is the right. It helps holding them consistent.

Many, many thanks again for providing it!

Uwe, that is very flattering. Thank you.

I feel compelled to say that it is not perfected though. I use it regularly, so it does work pretty well, but it would need some more attention for a few "bits". And major limitation is of course slowness if you try to apply it on "too many" tiddlers in one go or if your tiddlers have a lot of connections that show in the displays.
