How can I set the value of the template after selecting an entry and enter the editing state at the same time?

I create an entry that has the following in it. Then I go and choose a suitable template. Then set the content of this template to text for this tiddler, but then I want to go to the edit template for this tiddler, how can I do this with a button.

<$select tiddler='$:/state/button-templates' tooltip='Select the template to create'>
<option>{{$:/plugins/mabuqian/time-for-task/5w1h-templates!!caption}}</option>
<option>{{$:/plugins/mabuqian/time-for-task/issue-templates!!caption}}</option>
</$select>

<$button>
<$action-setfield $field="text" $value={{{ [[$:/state/button-templates]get[text]get[text]] }}}   />
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-edit-tiddler" $param=<<currentTiddler>> />
Confirm Add
</$button>

The content in the template is some simple content with big headlines.like this.

How to easily fill forms using a set of field values from template tiddlers

Here is a demo wiki in which I use forms to fill data (for a budget wiki). Click on the Forms link in the topbar to see the relevant tiddlers.

These are two example Input tiddlers - Petrol and Medicines [image] [image] There will be similar other Input tiddlers like stationaries, food etc. Each of these Input tiddlers will have a same set of fields with …

But the code I wrote, doesn’t get the content in the template, instead it clears it and then lets me edit it, why is that? Is there a good solution for this? Thanks.

I solved the problem. It turns out that you need to save the tiddler before going into edit.
