   If you need anything explained further, I would be happy to clarify any points.

Thank you!

So,

1. I create the custom column as described in your original post
2. Download the attached file
3. install it in Calibre as a plugin, per the image in post #3 (Which will populate the custom column itself)
4. Continue my workflow as usual, but skip the reconversion


Is that correct?
