Is it what custom columns are made for?

In this case there is no requirement to use any custom columns, the Add Books drop down has two relevant options, viz
I mainly use the first one with silly values in author and title e.g.
fred and
blah, this will add a line to the top of the list which I then edit. I do all my metadata editing on the book list lines, rather than the modal dialogue boxes.
I have an Admin Tags custom column in which I put values such as Paper Book, Wanted Book, EBook etc. I prefer to only put Subject descriptors into the built-in Tags column.
If you can get a CSV file from BookCAT you could use the Import List plugin to replicate the BookCAT catalogue in calibre,
