I have a library for all my gaming items (roleplaying and board games). For these I have custom columns for things like 'Game System', 'Genre' and 'Setting'. What I would like to happen is that if I add an item to the 'Dungeons & Dragons' series, the other custom columns would get updated with the appropriate values automatically. Other series would have other values. It seems like I would need a lot of composite columns to accomplish this.

My wish (pipe dream?) would be to right-click on a series in the Tag Browser and have a menu item for 'Apply Metadata' and have a menu where I put in the values for the columns I want that series to have.
Have a look at the Entities Manager plugin. It may offer an alternate approach.

BR
