Hi,

I have another pending question.

I have created a custom Foreword column in which it is possible to specify who wrote a foreword to the currently selected book.

When I right-click on the value in it and select Manage Foreword, I would like to get the same dialog box as when I right-click Author's name and select Manage Author. In other words I would like to handle Foreword as if it were an Author's name.

How can I get this result?

Many thanks in advance.
The general answer is "You can't". A custom "contains names" column doesn't have a "sort" field.

However, right-clicking on the "Forward" label in the tag browser will give you a "Manage" dialog that might solve the problem.
