I followed this guide to create the custom column and setup the driver.
I have the plug in set to add a "review" or "next" to the column when I add to the list, but when it is sent to the Kobo it looks like the column in empties before Calibre sends it, so I the books don't get added to the shelf.
E.g. I have a book I want on the Review shelf on my reader, so I add Review to the custom column using RL - fine. But when it is synced the tag is removed BEFORE it is sent to the reader so it is NOT added to the Review shelf on the reader.
Hope that makes sense. 
Manually adding the tag and sending the books works but I was hoping to use RL to automate it bit, by automatically adding and removing the tag when I added it to the list/removed it from the device. |
I assume you have the lists set to automatically clear the lists after the sync. If so, that is the way it works. When being sent, the books are added to a job to send to the device, and then removed from the list. That means the column value is cleared. When the job is run that sends the books and update the metadata on the device, the column value is already gone.
The only thing I can think of is not automatically clear the list and do that manually after the jobs to put the books on the device have finished.
