[image] Using the remove operator with titles from a function There are no standard fields, I did a test via JSON import of 570+ Tiddlers that had only Title fields … example (great for the use case which doesn’t need Text fields) … [{"title":"with South Park because he hates Trump, and he's …

Of course you can do this… not without considerable tinkering though. The easiest step is to turn timestamps off, so your newly created tiddlers don’t get creation and modification fields. You’d have to tweak the core, though, so that the creator and modifier field (tracking username as shown in c…

[image] Springer: Of course you can do this… not without considerable tinkering though. I’m going to push back on this just a bit… if you’re willing to use a custom interface rather than the standard tiddler editor, you can do this with a single tiddler and no core tinkering. And I’d hazard t…

[image] Springer: you can do this… not without considerable tinkering though Eek! [image] Springer: You’d have to tweak the core, though, so that the creator and modifier field (tracking username as shown in control panel) would not be set. Q: If I keep the username empty would that p…

[image] Springer: If you’re doing this to shave time off of the import process, or for any other efficiency-related motivation, I’m skeptical that it’s worth the tradeoff in terms of real information lost (especially modification timestamp, which helps tremendously with troubleshooting). I’ve…

[image] etardiff: you probably don’t need the full editor experience anyway. Right. For the purpose the editor is totally unnecessary. [image] etardiff: here’s a demo: Title-only tiddler generator.tid (936 Bytes) … it’s intended to accept one tiddler title per line [TT edited] Thank …

is this not an ideal case for missing tiddlers?, importing the titles then making a small process to format them as titles and join them with a space placing them in a tiddler, eg “short phrases”? then use them as missing tiddlers delete the imported titles use [[short phrases]links[]] to list or …

[image] TiddlyTitch: FWIW, the final aim is I want to do Burroughs style cut-ups in TW with thousands of titles. This is a step towards that, I hope. Ah, a lovely project. I have a very modest gesture toward random phrases that has a bit of that spirit, making use of a randomizer @Mohammad …

[image] Springer: How (from where) would you be curating the thousands of lines of text? Researching the writing of my book and in my days to day organiser I often create tiddlers whose title is more like prose, and the date fields help me know when they were created and modified. I have felt…
