Question [GUI] JobSpy Pseudonymous Authors

Did you search the JS thread for "pseudonymous authors" to find the posting with resources?

Did you first create the correct type of Custom Column (exactly as specified in the JS customizing ToolTips) you specified in the settings and immediately restart Calibre?

Did you import a correctly formatted CSV file?

Did you then export to a CSV file just to ensure that what you uploaded was correctly updated in Calibre, and came back the way you sent it?

p.s. I find it surprising that you hit enter on your reply to my previous post exactly 10 minutes after I hit enter on it. 10 minutes for you to download a brand new plug-in, customize it, customize a new Calibre Custom Column with the correct attributes, search the JS thread (as specified in the Original Post under "documentation") for resources for the Pseudonymous Authors tool, modify the template CSV file with your personal pseudonymous authors as you described in your post, upload it, etc., test it, then search for what you might have done wrong or missed entirely after you got an error. All in less than 10 minutes. Amazing.
I have tried following all the suggestions listed here, but am still having difficulties getting this app to work. I keep getting the following error:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre_plugins.job_spy.ui", line 6730, in update_author_pseudonyms
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'mi_field' referenced before assignment
I'm not sure how to proceed.

I have a Custom Column set like this:
Lookup Name: #real_authors
Column Heading: Real Author(s)
Column Type: Comma separated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser. Contains names: checked
Comments: Real Author(s) for any Pseudonyms used as a book's 'Author'.

I have made changes to the CSV file exported from calibre and then imported it. I exported it and the changes were in the export.

Please point me in the right direction!
