refer to recently created tiddler when creating a bunch of tiddlers tagged with the name of that tiddler and whose name are the name of the tiddler with various words appended, or something like that....

[ 2019 03 23 UPDATE]

I have found a macro tidexist that I can use to test to see if the original tiddler exists, and if not suggest entering a new name instead.

This approach renders the original question moot. The final result is posted at very bottom for future reference.

[ORIGINAL POST]

I am creating a button that will create a tiddler and a bunch of tiddlers tagged with the name of that tiddler and whose name are the name of the tiddler with various words appended. 

for example, "Tiddler one" and "Tiddler one - Category one" , with tag: "Tiddler one"

The problem I have is that in this line

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle={{$:/state/new-button-caption}} tags="Workshop createdByButton" text={{$:/plugins/reidgould/dpbd/templates/view/Board}} focus=yes /

I create the tiddler, but if a tiddler with that name, Say "Tiddler One" exists, the actual name of the tiddler with not be 'Tiddler One' but 'Tiddler One 1" (or 2 or 3, if prior ones exist...). This is alright as far as it stands, but now the tags, which are based on  "{{$:/state/new-button-caption}}" will not have the additional number, will all be to the original tiddler, not the newly created tiddler. 

I also had ot use the strange tagme tagx scheme in order to get tiddler names with spaces into the tag, otherwise the name became several tags (for example, if I used "tags={{$:/state/new-button-caption}}" directly). There may be a better way to do this???

Is there any way to fix this? I think I have to update

<$set name=tagx value={{$:/state/new-button-caption}} >

somehow...but how to identify the correct value, i.e. the exact name of the tiddler I just created?

P.S. I cribbed most of the code from other places, and it is well likely that there is a better approach for this or other aspects of it...Thanks in advance.

[OLD CODE, see below for corrected]

\define songs() {{$:/state/new-button-caption}} - Songs

\define games() {{$:/state/new-button-caption}} - Games

\define art() {{$:/state/new-button-caption}} - Art

\define intro() {{$:/state/new-button-caption}} - Intro

\define books() {{$:/state/new-button-caption}} - Books

\define tagme() [[$(tagx)$]]

\define concat(text,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) $text$

\define myTags(title) <<concat "'{{$:/state/new-button-caption}}'" >>

<$set name=tagx value={{$:/state/new-button-caption}} >
