I have no problem continuing to do that, but since I'm thinking of linking the Count Words option the same way, I figured I would ask if there's something I can do. 90% of the time, I've simply overlooked something really simple, so figured I would ask
Doing a 'Update Always' will update the title page with the current custom column values. There isn't currently another way to get the current word count from a custom column into the title page.

What I personally do is use a Calibre Metadata Plugboard to alter the title that appears on my devices to include series, title, word count, and tags. Something like:

Code:
{series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - }{title}{#wordcount:| (|)}{tags:| [|]}{#extranotes:| [|]} --> title
