I would like to be able to "disable" some of the standard metadata fields to prevent them from being populated and displayed in the tag browser and content server. Allowing them to be deleted would certainly work just as well, but I understand that messing with the base/default database structure would be complicated.

In my case, I do not use the Publisher and Rating fields and have turned them off in all the download metadata configurations, but they still get populated when I bulk import books, either from an associated opf file or from the book file itself. Searching them out and bulk editing metadata to clear these fields is straightforward, but it's annoying to have to keep doing it. Would it be possible to have a tweak available that just told calibre to ignore any data in selected standard fields when importing/downloading metadata?

Thanks!
