TW5 Data Entry Form

[Reaktorblue]

I'm trying to learn how to use TW5 as a way to document some things via a data entry form

I have these two tiddlers created

• Basic Form
• $:/state/basic-form
  

In the Basic Form tiddler, I'm using a button to create a new tiddler based on the data in the form

\define newEntry()

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="entry" $template="$:/state/basic-form"/>

\end

<$button actions=<<newEntry>> >

Create Tiddler

</$button>

Is there a way to also clear the form once I have clicked the button?

Yes, see below. This will work as long as your State tiddler only holds data (that can then be re-entered using the Form tiddler).

Good work exploring TW UI! :)

```

\define newEntry()

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="entry" $template="$:/state/basic-form"/>

<$action-deletetiddler $tiddler="$:/state/basic-form"/>

\end

<$button actions=<<newEntry>> >

Create Tiddler

</$button>

```

If you want to clear selective fields, while leaving others intact, use the $action-deletefield (which is identical to using the $action-setfield widget with NO value).

While Joshua gave you the right direction you can have a look at the dictionary project by Jed Carty (he has a lot of great examples, and case studies)

from TW-Scripts

TW-scripts has not been updated for a while, but it is among the very useful TW scripting resources in the whole galaxy ;-) :-) :-) that is because many people from TW community contributed to that!
