So, non-working (as I expect them to) lookup-names is my issue. That's what I don't understand and that's where I need help.
Unless you use one of the two column built from other columns functionality, how is your new column going to get any information? I have a column called Additional Authors and it remains empty until I populate it manually--that column is used mostly for multi-author collections of short stories.
