My main reason is that I now can click fast in the id's section to find books not having set the NUR-info
I have tons of labels (sorted with sub-labeling (.)) using this id-info is a faster way to work with it.
I'm thinking of types to add there. The NUR and NUGI (dutch library-sort-codes) are identifiers in a way that they are a representation of the used genre.
So main-question: Should I add this in IDs or in your explained text-fields and what are the (dis-)advantages of the purposed method.

A predefined value text field is useful for a limited set.
I have one set for 'Master Format': Values : EPUB,PRC,LIT,PDF... (ordered by frequency of use)
Typing the first letter brings up the first one. P Pdf typing another P gets PRC
Only you can confirm field type usefulness
