UPDATE: SOLVED as of post #9

What would keep a custom column that is based on other columns from copying into a new library?

I created a new library and copied the structure of the current.
I then took a section of books and copied them to the new one. This included multiple custom columns, 2 of which are based on info in other columns.
Only one of my custom columns (the latest only recently created) did not copy. I had to recreate it in the new library (which means restarts...grrr...).

Any "missing column" notification windows were checked off when I copied the files to create my test library so that couldn't be it.

How can this happen?
