Probably a simple question with a simple answer that I've missed along the way.
I'm using a combination of buttons to toggle the display from one mode to another in much the same way the Show/Hide preview works when editing a Tiddler. For clarity, I'll call it View 1 and View 2. As it currently stands when I reopen a tiddler, I get whatever view goes with the last toggle position as recorded in a field. If I close a tiddler in View 2, it comes up in View 2 when I reopen it. I want it to always open in View 1 regardless of what the position was when I closed the tiddler.
Is there a simple way to force the field to contain a specific value when I open a tiddler?

You can include the tiddler under the $:/state namespace. The state of those tiddlers is not "saved"
At least you will get a beautiful empty tiddler every time.

Hi Stephen
No. In fact, in TiddlyWiki it would be wrong for displaying a tiddler to have any side effects on the tiddler store.
> I want it to always open in View 1 regardless of what the position was when I closed the tiddler.
A slightly different technique than Danielo suggested is to use provide an appropriate value for the "default" attribute of both of the reveal widgets that you're using.
Best wishes
Jeremy.
