However, you can emulate it with a negative look ahead regex. I confess I got it from Stack Trace

Second, note lastUpdated (vs lastupdated).

This works for me:

[defaults] 
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,myships,mycharacters,rawcharacters,mytags,rawtags,myfandoms,mystatus,lastupdated
include_in_mystatus:status 
include_in_lastupdated:dateUpdated
custom_columns_settings: 
 mystatus=>#status 
 lastupdated=>#updated
replace_metadata: 
 status=>In-Progress=>Abandoned&&lastupdated=>^((?!2018).)*$

(I'm not sure why you have mystatus and lastupdated from this snippet, but I assume you have reasons.)

Thank you! That works perfectly!

Another question: is there a way to force the title column to use title case? For some reason, some AO3 authors think they're e.e. cummings.
