I also use Calibre for archiving periodicals which have no ISBN and no possibility to retrieve data for the defined dataset (Name, Author, Publisher, etc. to only name a few) automatically, so I have to enter them always manually!
So each time I want to archive new periodicals I have to add all data manually with most of them are always the same (i.e. Publisher and my defined fields like type or area of Publication).
It would be great if there were any way to automate the population of these fields in a way of having templates for it: If one adds a new periodical Calibre could ask which template to use.
Another way could be to copy a selection of fields of an existing dataset entry to an new one.
Is there a way to do this (which I haven't found so far) and if not is there any chance of implementing it ?

You would be amazed what can be done (populating a custom field) with the Bulk Metadata Edit Search and replace form.
set the search mode to REGEX
