I don't know why what you write does not work, it may be because the title is not something that _likes_ being the result of a macro (forgive me the figurative language).

You might try the piece of Scheme code in this thread: http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/quick-way-to-add-title-author/152

where you can modify the shortcut (e.g. "t t l tab") and the parts of the title; you will be able to edit the text afterwards because it will be part of the buffer, not a typeset result.

Said this, to copy parts of a TeXmacs document as source you can use the menu entry Edit -> Copy to -> TeXmacs

      Hello
        everyone! I have a series of reports to write, which have
        similar titles,  e.g. 
      title:My
        Title   subtitle:1   author:me   date:today 
      title:My
        Title   subtitle:2   author:me   date:today 
      title:My
        Title   subtitle:3   author:me   date:today 
      
      So I wrote
        a macro for this: 
      ```
      
      <assign|title|
      
       
        <macro| order | 
          
        <doc-data| <doc-title| My Title> 
                           
        | <doc-subtitle| \order> 
                           
        | <doc-author| me>>>> 
      ```
      
      In
        preamble. 
      (The
        "\order" is entered by \order[enter] in texmacs) 
      (The
        <doc-data.... Part is copied from a manually inserted title)
      
      
      But when I
        call this macro, it displays a literal "order" as subtitle, and
        I can't change it. 
      
      I want to
        know what's wrong with this macro, and how to fix it? 
      (I'm new to
        TeXmacs and is still learning, so please forgive me if this
        question is stupid.)
