I don’t know if this possible with how the Commander plugin works or not. I’m trying to clean up some tiddler references that are in tiddler field. The current field value is [[OldLink]]. I would like to set the field value to [[NewLink]] but I keep getting a filter error when placing the [[ around it. I’ve tried to escape the ['s but that also doesn’t work . Any help would be appreciated.

As an alternative to $:/Commander plugin, you could use:
https://tiddlytools.com/#TiddlyTools%2FEditable
To install, just drag-and-drop the TiddlyTools/Editable tiddler into your TiddlyWiki.
Then, to “bulk edit” your tiddlers:
- Open the TiddlyTools/Editable tiddler
- In the “Filter tiddlers” input, enter your desired filter (
[tag[general]contains:myLink[OldLink]]) - In the “Select tiddlers” input, click the “all” link to select all matching tiddlers
- In the “Select fields” input, select the “myLink” field
- A table will be displayed, showing rows for each tiddler, and columns for “Title” and “myLink” fields.
- Above the table in the “find matching content” input, enter
[[OldLink]], and in the “replace with” input, enter[[NewLink]]. - Press the “checkmark” button to perform the “find-and-replace” action.
- That’s it… all occurences of “[[OldLink]]” will replaced by “[[NewLink]]”
enjoy,
