OK, as promised at the meet up, here’s my improved random note suggester solution: Breakfast Randomizer-v3.tbx (255.2 KB)
New here is a method to either exclude a note within a group from consideration (i.e “don’t use me in this group”) or another to force inclusion for a group (“only use me for this group”). Both methods are reversible and stamps are provided for that task.
There is a ‘read me’ which I recommend skimming. Once you know how things work, you don’t need the outline column view ‘on’, but it can be handy to help understand how things work.
Is the TBX only for breakfast combo suggestions? No, absolutely not. Look at the general pattern and take for your own use. I suspect that with a bit more thought, it might be possible to reduce the number of user attributes needed (I use 4: a string and 3 booleans). But, don’t worry about that, a few extra attributes won’t tax Tinderbox. It’s just that if you want to re-use the concept and code as-is you’ll need to make those attributes.
I hope this is of use.
