Using fields as templates

understand, and mostly agree with the Philosophy of Tiddlers

This philosophy of tiddlers has being challenged many times, and in my view never successfully dismissed.

• A key facility to help is improving the handling of multiple tiddlers, including export/drag and drop.

@Scott_Sauyet

Basically, I know how to do this if the data is in the text field of a tiddler, but not when it’s elsewhere, like in another field.

Well; that is an excellent skills development opportunity and once you can, it is very empowering.

@Scott_Sauyet

the current goal of this wiki is for users to make their own copy and hack away at customizing for their own study, annotation, or other use of chemical information.

This is a great goal and there are different ways to handle it;

• Personally I would make a package that the user can drag and drop or export that includes their modifications
  • I would be inclined to look at a plugin of source data + user modified tiddlers from the above + a few additional user interface or settings tiddlers.
