Hi Everyone, I am completed frustrated. I am trying to create a script to create a new tiddler and set its title. Script is in a tiddler called $:/TLS/Actions/Add New Link whose text field is ----- <$button> <$action-createtiddler $basetitle="{{$:/TLS/linktitle}}" tags="Links" _…

[image] Bob_Jansen: $basetitle="{{$:/TLS/linktitle}}" $basetitle={{{ [{$:/TLS/linktitle}addprefix[CS]] }}} In 5.3.0 $basetitle=`${ [{$:/TLS/linktitle}addprefix[CS]] }$`

Tones, Good to talk to you. Will apply your simple suggestion tomorrow. Bobj

PMario, Then maybe there needs to be a business rule that adds a warning to the tiddler in question so as to notify users of the coming change. Bobj
