The default value of $edit-text not effect to $set

lilixiong2018 commented 2 weeks ago

Describe the bug

Create a new tiddler named "Test search with prefix" as:

<$edit-text field="search" default="Release" tiddler="$:/temp/search" placeholder="enter prefix string to search" size="30"/>

<$set field=search name=term tiddler="$:/temp/search" >
<$list filter="[!is[system]prefix<term>!sort[created]limit[200]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate" emptyMessage="Not found."/>
</$set>

then reload TW and open the new tiddler which named "test search with prefix", it show word "Release" on editrbox, but the result of "search" tidders is ALL, not which that has prefix of "Release".

Expected behavior

When open the "Test search with prefix" tiddler, return tidders which that has prefix of "Release".

To Reproduce

Create a new tiddler named "Test search with prefix" as:

<$edit-text field="search" default="Release" tiddler="$:/temp/search" placeholder="enter prefix string to search" size="30"/>

<$set field=search name=term tiddler="$:/temp/search" >
<$list filter="[!is[system]prefix<term>!sort[created]limit[200]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate" emptyMessage="Not found."/>
</$set>

Reload TW.
open "Test search with prefix" tidder.
It should show tidders which has prefix "Release", not all the tidders.

Screenshots

If we use backspace to delete some characters, or add some characters, it works as normal.

Hi @lilixiong2018 thanks for the report.

What is going on is that if the <$edit-text> widget is used with a target tiddler that does not exist then although the default attribute value is displayed in the control it is not actually saved back to the tiddler until the user makes a modification. So the result is that the target tiddler is not created unless the value is changed from the default value.

The underlying architectural reason that it works like this is because our architecture does not not permit widgets to modify the wiki store when are displayed or refreshed. Modifications can only be made within event handlers.

Thank you. I close this issue because of design constraint.
