If, say, both hunter!Cas and angel!Dean are present (not either/or) in freeformtags then it would add reverse!verse and AU and keep hunter!Cas and angel!Dean as well. I've considered the below, but it doesn't work as I have it written.
Code:
freeformtags,category,genre=>^[Rr]everse.[Vv]erse|(angel!Dean)(hunter!Cas)$=>reverse!verse\,AU\,\1\,\2
I've fudged around with this for awhile, but am stumped. Thoughts? |
Hrm... That's not going to work because replace_metadata operates on individual values. So it can only see one of
angel!Dean or
hunter!Cas at a time.
Unless you use <metadata>_LIST. The following works for me, but it assumes that freeformtags is sorted and that it's okay for the freeformtags entry in the title page to be out of order and possibly have duplicates of AU and reverse!verse. Calibre's Tags column and tag-like columns automatically order and remove duplicates.
Code:
freeformtags_LIST=>(angel!Dean.*hunter!Cas)=>reverse!verse,AU,\1
(Note that using \, in _LIST substs is undefined. I'm not sure what it does exactly in that case.)

I briefly entertained the idea that my ship column was the wrong type, but it doesn't seem to be that. I've only attempted anthologies pulled from ao3.

That suggests that your column is a text type, not a
tag-like text type (see attached).
The anthology code concatenates most metadata items as strings (with ', ' between them) and counts on tag-like Calibre columns to automatically remove duplicates and alphabetize.
