Not at all. I want the behavior, or structure, of the three-value, yes/no column, but with labels OTHER than yes/no.

For example, one of the (many) ways I might use it if available:
  • I add a book, I would want it indicating No (for my purposes, there would be NO undefined -- if there has to be, then I suppose yes it would be a four-value column, but that's not what I'm looking for). I guess it could also stay as undefined, I wouldn't mind that so much if I can customize the other two...
  • If I went through the metadata, but have not edited the file otherwise, I would want it indicating some variation of Partial (Part, MD, whatever I choose).
  • After I go through and then edit the epub file to how I like my files, I would want it indicating Yes (or Full, or Edit, or whatever final 'wording' I pick).

If I could not change the labels (yes/no) if I could customize the image for each of the 3 options, since that is all that shows in the columns:
  • current "No" image (red circle with 'x' in middle) in undefined,
  • orange circle with straight line in middle for no, and
  • green circle with check for yes,

that would certainly work. I simply like the structure of the yes/no setup, as opposed to the other options available for what I would like.
