That is dangerous.
What if you already had a column with that name, but not associated with the PI? A mess if the PI did manage to run
Besides, Adding a column requires a calibre restart before it can be used
I do believe in cases of user defined column usage, that any PI uses them should do basic
sanity check and report errors in simple terms (not rely on a crash report).
1) The PI has been initially configured (valid at the time).
2) When starting, the configuration is checked against the current Library to be sure that the columns exist and are of the correct types.
