What would be the format to set a series identifier? I've tried a few things with no luck. To set an individual book identifier, the format is "comicvine:123456."

The book would be identified in Comic Vine's database as "4000-123456."

A series is identified in Comic Vine's database as "4050-456789." How would one designate the series using Calibre's identifier field? I can understand if there's something that needs to be built out in the ComicVine plugin--it's still pretty new.

I also can't find a way to add an editable identifier column to the main library: only display identifiers via the ISBN template.

ETA: to be clear above, "4000" is the actual Comic Vine prefix for individual book listings, and "4050" is the actual prefix for series listings.
