Tooltip change, or am I doing it wrong?

Hi,

First off - thank you for adding some truly incredible functionality to Calibre.

Code:
Calibre: 3.28.0 win64
Job Spy (JS+): 1.0.132
Would you clarify a few of your config tooltips? Either I'm doing it wrong (but not getting error messages), or calibre's custom column options have changed since you last updated the tooltips. Here's what confused me in the last section of configuration options:

1. Custom Column to update with the Original Title prior to scrubbing:
Quote:
This custom Column must be a 'Comments - Short Text Like a Title - Plain Text (Not HTML)' type of Custom Column
Same with Original Authors
There isn't a comments, short text like a title custom column option. Rather than using one of the pregenerated options, I went with:

Code:
Lookup name: orig_title
Column Heading: RawTitle
Column type: Long text, like comments, not shown in the Tag Browser
Description: JS+ Unscrubbed Title
Heading: No Heading
Interpret as: Plain Text

2. real authors:
Quote:
Specify the 'Text, Tag-Like, Ampersand-Separated People' Custom Column ...
There isn't an ampersand-separated option I can see, but if I create a column with:
Code:
Comma separated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser
✓ Contains Names
the type in the calibre add custom columns mentions ampersands

Suggestions:
If I'm not doing it wrong, changing the tooltips to reflect the language of calibre's custom column options might help others. So:

raw author, raw title:
Lookup name, heading, and description of user's choice;
Column type: Long text, like comments, not shown in the Tag Browser
Do not select names
Interpret as: Plain Text
real author:
Lookup name, heading, and description of user's choice;
Comma separated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser
✓ Contains Names

If I've screwed up my config, please let me know :-)

Thanks!
