If the Publisher or User, hand edits the fields

Before I didn't wrote anything in that list.

The Metadata Editor (MDE) allows you to make ANY changes. Even absolute nonsense ones as long as the SYNTAX is correct

Well, that matches my expectations... and it is what calibre does.

??? Experts together!

Note: You can override the "correct" author_sort values.
Tag Browser ==> Authors ==> right-click ==> Manage Authors
Recalculate all author sort values, or manually type one in.

Recalculate all author sort values in Manage authors → OK.
... or manually type one in → in Manage authors unpossible, only in MDE, then shows red flag.


It don't change the input in Manage authors (still brown, dan)

These will be used to determine if a specific book should show in green (correct) or red (warning).

Obviously! Is/can be there a reason for such a handling?

This value may have been accidentally changed at some point.

Possibly, but as I mentioned before: Not from me!

The matter is resolved in essence. Thank you both!

The match-up rules are probably case insensitive

As I already said, no they aren't.
We are not amused

Easy English, please!


No Karma. @theducks the same!?
