lazorbeam · 01-21-2016, 12:18 AM

Does anyone know if it's possible to auto-tag a book with custom column data? For example, I have a "Characters" custom column and would like a book to automatically be tagged with this. I've recently acquired an Android device and very sadly can no longer use Marvin ereader and am exploring CalibreBox (which is saving my life!). I'd like to increase tag searching functionality.

A barrier I can see in this process is about *when* this auto-tagging would be applied - since I add the column data myself, clearly it can't happen as a book is being added. Anyway.

To be clear, I am aware of metadata downloading but a lot of my library is fanfic and that doesn't really apply there. Thanks.
