Adding a custom column entry on the title page doesn't seem to be working for me. I am not sure exactly when it quit working correctly, but I noted dates I could find below. I updated to the latest beta release just in case to see if it was something that hadn't been noted and repaired at some point, and that didn't help. Here is the problem and my process I've tried.
Something changed between July 7/18 and 7/25 that caused problems with the entry. I hadn't really noticed it because most of the time I was out of town and didn't spend time trying to troubleshoot it when I noticed the issue. I went back and found the date the last time it worked, (7/18) and the next time I updated something from one of the websites I use it for (7/25).
Next, I went into the threads to find out if something had changed, and it had apparently. Instead of the original command "add_to_titlepage_entries:,calibre_cust_words" words being the #column name (without #) apparently, according to a later post it is: "extra_titlepage_entries: calibre_cust_words". I made the modification to the new option and nothing changed.
When I do an update the last entry on a titlepage is now calibre_cust_words, this is in the line after the summary.
I actually tried both of the options together
"
add_to_titlepage_entries:,calibre_cust_words
extra_titlepage_entries: calibre_cust_words
"
... and get (as the last entry) "calibre_cust_wordscalibre_cust_words" so I'm not sure what's happening, as both options (add_to_titlepage_entries and extra_titlepage_entries) seem to add an entry to the title page, but it's not working with that column name.
I also tried another column instead of words, two separate ones and in each case the had an entry called misc (a misc column I use for notes, and a column called stage) and it did the same thing, showing "calibre_cust_misc" or "calibre_cust_stage" as the last entry on the titlepage, but not actually showing the data in the column. I even tried adding a #in front of the column name just in case. Same situation.
So now, after trying all those different options I'm stuck and I've come here for help. Has something changed that I missed? Or is this specific to me?
add note: hot damn that's a lot of chapters in the above mentioned fanfic.
edit: fixed specifics in first sentences.
