Sorry, to clarify - I do use FanficFare as well as the AO3's download option or other sources. Both of these do include metadata but, with the nature of fanfic, that stuff is sometimes a mess. I don't always find it consistent for searching and often delete it.

If I'm reading davidfor's post right, I don't want to *update* my Customn Column - I want to take my tidy manually-added info and apply it to the tags. And yeah, I'm not sure how it would work. The best I was thinking was that it could somehow be applied during a Convert or Polish process. I know you can update book metadata during Polish but I believe that assumes the tags are already as desire.

I looked into the Import List plugin but I think that's more than I'm looking for. It's not a huge deal for me to go back and batch edit my current library (I sort of enjoy the organizing process), but I was hoping to set up something for moving forward.

Thanks for the input from both of you. Appreciate it.
