|$subfilter |An optional subfilter expression, which takes the list being manipulated as input, and saves the modified list back to the field/index being manipulated |
|$tags |An optional subfilter expression, which takes the <<.field tags>> field of the target tiddler as input, and saves the modified list of tags back to the <<.field tags>> field |
!! Note on subfilter expressions
If the manipulation depends on the current contents of the list, e.g. when using the <<.olink toggle>> operator to toggle the presence of an element, the [[Filter Run]] would be prefixed with the `+` / `:and` [[filter run prefix|Filter Expression]] so that it properly receives the list as input.
```
<$action-listops $subfilter="+[toggle[List Item]]"/>
```
The above widget will toggle the presence of the element <<.value "List Item">> in the field <<.field list>> of the current tiddler, removing or adding the element as necessary.
Similarly, if an element is to always be removed when it is present, the `-` / `:except` [[filter run prefix|Filter Expression]] can be used. Both of the following yield the same result:
```
<$action-listops $subfilter="-[[List Item]]"/>
<$action-listops $subfilter="+[remove[List Item]]"/>
```
Without any prefixes, the filter run output is simply [[dominantly appended|Dominant Append]] to the list.
See also the [[Examples|ActionListopsWidget (Examples)]].
!! Using $filter or $subfilter
Standalone use of the `$subfilter` attribute can be replaced by using a (more complicated) `$filter` attribute value.

The [[enlist Operator]] with `raw` suffix will enlist the list saved in <<.field myfield>> of the current tiddler without de-duplication, while e.g. the [[list Operator]] will always de-duplicate. The widget then adds the item <<.value abc>> -- whether or not it is already included in the list -- and replaces the original list in <<.field myfield>>.

In this example we shall append a few tags to the 'tags' field of this tiddler (the default). We shall then remove some of the appended tags.
