If one has an existing custom column, such as "Finished" for books read, is it possible to edit the column to allow inclusion in the tag browser? I think my problem is due to the "column type" being "date" which does not offer the option of a checkbox to "show in tag browser" as other column types provide. I already have a fair number of books which have the "#finished" with date assigned. Is it not possible to edit this column after the fact? (still using v3.48)

I would be most appreciative to be pointed in the right direction by someone in the know.

Many thanks,

Once a column type is set it cannot it changed.

My simple suggestion is to create a Finished virtual library with a search expression of #finished:true.

Take care
