You omitted the context of my response (my responding to a user's request to do something absurd). My full post was:

The user wrote:

And a small feature request... can you change the separator in the FAST responses from -- to . so that we can have hierarchical tags?

To that I replied:
Quote:
You don't understand how Tags work in Calibre. Tags are comma-separated...always. The FAST responses have absolutely nothing to do with what separator is used. Nothing.
If you want hierarchical Tags, whether for FAST Tags or standard Calibre Tags or LCEAD Tags or Genre Tags, you must handle those on your own using Calibre functionality to do so. That is a user-by-user choice.

You clearly did not understand the discussion, or you would not have replied with a leading "No, ...". As the
blue, underlined phrase above shows, I told the Library Codes user that
he must use Calibre's functionality to create hierarchies of Tags, and not expect the Library Codes plug-in to do it for him.
Essentially, the user was requesting a "small enhancement" to corrupt the Tag values in the Tag-Like Custom Column under discussion, #fast, by hardcoding in leading dots into its custom_column_NN table Tag-Like values. Not going to happen.
I stand by my original response as being 100% accurate:
The user needs to use Calibre's functionality to create hierarchies.
