So now after changes are made, I'll go back a week or so later (or after my current book has been read), and none of my changes are there. Instead, it goes back to previous settings. I have since tried creating virtual libraries, custom tags and the Book List plug-in. After some time goes by, I find the virtual libraries gone, custom tags gone, or the book lists gone (the plug-in is still there, just no data).
This last time I deleted the custom column completely, then created some book lists using the Book List plug-in. This morning I opened Calibre and there's my old custom column...back from the dead...with all my sub-categories the way they were. All book lists are gone as well.
I can't seem to find a way for Calibre to retain my data.
Can anyone help me understand?
Sorry for the long-winded post, and thank you!

Do you have your Library folder connected to a 'cloud' (something like dropbox) backup? It may have restored an older Library. (There are tips in this forum for those who use this type of service with Calibre)
Do you have more than 1 Library (or a copy) on that system? It may have started using that one:
Search your computer files for
metadata.db The folder it is found in is a Calibre 'Library'
