I have twenty-plus years worth of several magazines that I need to clean up the title entries on. The Series entries are correct (thanks to the Manage Series plug-in,) but the title entries are not. The standard that I am using in my library is that the series entry is the volume and number for the magazine, and the year and month are included in the title field.
I am wondering if there is a way to make title field changes in quantities greater than a single entry. I want to be able to select a group of books (magazines) and tell Calibre that these are National Geographic 1988-xx, and have Calibre fill in the xx as 01, 02, 03...
If anyone has ideas, please pass them on, I really do not want to have to do this on a title-by-title basis...
Does the Series_index contain the numbers you want to use?
One of the (bulk mode S&R) replace values is Calibre fields {series_index} for example
