I have two new columns that are replacing three columns that have multiple rules for each. Would like to open the .json file in Notepad++ and do a search and replace for the old columns to the new columns.
I don't like how editing the columns in preferences blanks out all the info past the column when you change the column.
Would be nice if changing the column doesn't change the other info. It's easier to delete the info rather than retype it. Especially since the values aren't available in dropdown format. Columns that are text in the tag browser should be shown in the dropdown format instead of requiring manual inputting the value since it's easy to mistype what the value should be when I am not able to see the column as I set the preference.

If you edit the
metadata_db_prefs_backup file then you'll need to restore the database to make the changes available to the calibre code.
There's an option in JS to save custom column details in a CSV, maybe you could use that as a place from which to get prior values.
