I asked if there was a means of creating batch jobs - i.e. multiple changes to the meta-data that could be applied to single or multiple books.
You need to go back and look Bulk Metadata editing again

If I select 1000 books: fill out the form (forms if you have User columns), and Apply or OK, that applied those changes (Add or Remove) to all those books.

OR

If I use the last Tab (S&R) (This is the one with a save for later use option)
The change will be applied to ALL selected books THAT MATCH the Search

(I just completed a 1000 book (simple) S&R. it took 1 minute tops . The metadata backup ran in background for lots longer )
IT is true that S&R does not provide for a chained set of replaces, if you use a leading number when you save, you should easily click and APPLY in a sequence on the selected group of books
