How can I get the following output linking items with the appropriate group based on the fieldname?
group1 name
item1stuff
group2 name
item2 stuff
This is close but lists all item-x fields under each group. Unknown number of group|item pairs per tid.
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>fields[]prefix[group]]" variable="thisfield">
<$view field=<<thisfield>>/><br>
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>fields[]prefix[item]]" variable="thisitem">
<$view field=<<thisitem>>/><br>
</$list>
Try this:
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>fields[]prefix[group]]" variable="thisgroup">
<$view field=<<thisgroup>>/><br>
<$let itemprefix={{{ [[item-]] [<thisgroup>split[-]nth[2]] +[join[]] }}}>
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>fields[]prefix<itemprefix>]" variable="thisitem">
  <$view field=<<thisitem>>/><br>
</$list>
</$let>
</$list>
Notes:
- Inside the outer
$list widget, we construct the desired “item-#” prefix by using a “filtered transclusion” to join together the literal text “item-” and the number for the current group, which we extract from the thisgroup variable using split[-] and nth[2] filter operators.
- We can then use the constructed prefix in the second
$list widget’s filter.
- I added an
  (a full em-space HTML character) to provide indentation for the item output
