Automatically tagging from a field in another tiddler

[Linck Atlanta, Ga]

I have had success with:
<<newSavedTiddler label:'New Tiddler with a template'
text:{{'<<formTiddler [[NewTiddlerTemplate]]>'+'>'}}
tag:{{'y'}}>>

But I would like to replace 'y' with a syntax which would make it a
field that I would have defined in another tiddler.

I tried this...

<<newSavedTiddler label:'New Tiddler with a template'
text:{{'<<formTiddler [[NewTiddlerTemplate]]>'+'>'}}
tag:{{'<<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains("X")'
write 'tiddler.data("field")'>>'}}>>

But TW does not like it at all.

I appreciate any help.

By the way. There is only on tiddler that I would like to reference.
So, if there was a way to just reference a field@tiddler that would
work too.

You could try:
tag:{{store.getValue("myTiddler", "myField")}}

Great Idea.. and thanks... but no go. Any other thoughts? I
appreciate you giving it a shot.

Hmm, it worked for me in an empty TW file with only
NewSavedTiddlerPlugin installed, so maybe there's something about your
specific case. Are you really using a "custom field" or are you you
talking about a "form field"? Does your custom field value contain
spaces? Can you show the exact macro you tried?

OK,

my tiddler "Test Tiddler" has a field defined thusly; 

<data>{"testfield":"000"}</data>

And my new macro is:

<<newSavedTiddler label:'NEW ISSUE' 

         text:{{'<<formTiddler [[NewIssueTemplate]]>'+'>'}} 

         tag:{{store.getValue("Test Tiddler", "testfield")}}>> 

And... when I create a new tiddler by clicking on the button this macro creates, I get my new saved tiddler, but with no tag.  I was worried that it might be the space in Test and Tiddler, so i tried to change it (both in the macro and in the name of the tiddler) to TestTiddler... to no avail.  Thank you again for your aid.

Ok, sorry, I was led astray by your mention of field@tiddler, which
would be for a custom field.
For a form field, try
tag:{{DataTiddler.getData("Test Tiddler", "testfield", "")}}>>

It worked!!! Thanks! I am about a month in right now. Learning the
syntax is the biggest learning curve. I really appreciate your time.
