Yes and no. At the moment, the related books is set purely based on info on the device. Only the author and series makes sense for doing this. It would be possible to do this based on the calibre library. Or multiple columns. But, I can't say I'm interested in extending this. Part of it is that I'm not sure what extra combinations of metadata makes sense. The other problem is that when I added this function, the firmware listed about 10 books at a time for the related books. And it might have scrolled the list. But now there are only four books shown and no way to see more for sideloaded books. I think you are a lot better to create collections that hold the related books.

Ah well. I was hoping to cut down on collections. I loaded a bunch of stories to test how well my kobo did with a lot of stories. I usually search for stories based on fandom, character, pairings, series, and genre. Even when I cut out the tags I'm not interested in, like a character I don't like, there was nearly 400 collections. That's why I'd prefer something that created nested tags, so that I am not sorting through 400+ collections.

That's an error in the code that I will fix. The workaround is to start the tempate with one of "jacket:", "template:" or "plugboard:" (not quotes but the colon is important). The difference is in what can be use in the template.
The alternative is to use a "plugboard" or "template". These use the same template code as for metadata plugboards and custom columns. And this is the style you are using above.

I'm still confused as to why I'm getting the error. My code page starts with "template:". I literally took your code pasted it onto the page and then input my own custom columns. Would using "plugboard" be better? What is the difference between "plugboard" and "template"?

No, it isn't possible. Bot tabs are built by the firmware reading from columns in the internal database. The firmware decides which goes were. All I can do is add extra information that can be displayed in one of these places. And the only practical place to put this is in the comments/synopsis.

Ok. At least there is plenty of space on the synopsis page. The information on the details page is useless to me (at least for my downloaded fanfiction) which is why I was interested in putting more information there.
