Regarding that template in copy/replace, it works great for getting column info into the comments section. Alternatively if you want to get more column data into the details of a book into a catalog, just make a composite column based on a chain of other columns. It can also be created into a template in the copy/paste. It depends on what you want to do. I have the column since it's easier to point to it in the catalog creations. It can also just be added to a template.

I call this one "Copy to"

<b>Original File Name: </b>{#original_file_name}<br><br>
<b>All the book sources: </b>{#all_the_book_sources}<br><br>
<b>Date Added: </b>{#dateadded}<br><br>
<b>Book Style: </b>{#book_style}<br><br>
<b>MSITC: </b>{#merged_sito_in_the_cloud}<br><br>
<b>SITO: </b>{#sito}<br><br>
<b>GR AR: </b>{#gr1}<br><br>
<b>Pages: </b>{#pages}<br><br>
<b>Word: </b>{#word}<br><br>
<b>Details: </b>{#details}<br><br>
<b>Genre: </b>{#genre}<br><br>
<b>ENF: </b>{#enf}<br><br>
<b>Tags: </b>{tags}<br><br>


It can be added to the comments as a column in the catalog, alternatively it can be copied into the comments via copy/replace and be added with the comments in a book jacket.

I have a few template across my library like this one.

ps. SITO stands for "single in the omnibus" I use it as a yes/no column. Most often it is used to indicate whether or not the book is part of a merged book I created using epub merge. Then if I sent the merged book to my Kindle then it is in the cloud.
