Creating tiddlers that match a given filter expression?

[BurningTreeC]

It would be great if we could pass a $filter attribute to the action-createtiddler widget
This $filter attribute can contain any arbitrary filter expression
We then somehow evaluate the filter expression and create a tiddler that matches that expression

<$action-createtiddler $filter="[tag[myTag]has[myField]]"/>

should result in a tiddler with tag myTag and a field myField

Would that be possible?
It would be a great feature

• You can use the $template parameter and give it a template tiddler with tags and fields.

Or use the following code. If $basetitle is removed, it will use New Tiddler instead.

\procedure testCreate()
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="test" 
    tags="myTag" 
    aa="new field aa"
    bb="new field bb"
/>
\end

<$button actions=<<testCreate>> >
Create Tiddler
</$button>

No. A filter can result in 100th of elements. The first one could be used as a template. But that would pretty much be random. And creating several 100 new tiddlers is probably not intended. Especially if a client / server configuration is used. It will brick the server, for quite some time.
