Neither of the plugins I referenced would do that. You (or someone) would need to write a new plugin that does something like the following:
For each book in the library:
- Evaluates a template supplied in the plugin parameters against the book.
- Compares the resulting string against the contents of the custom column specified in the parameters.
- If different, update the custom column with the new data.
Tomorrow I will take a look at how much work it is. I suspect that there are easy cases, but that there will be problems when the source and destination aren't identical types.
