Can't edit Custom Columns in a library
Suddenly I can't edit custom columns in my Books Library, but I can edit custom columns in my Journals, Media, and Test libraries.

Can't edit them in the Book List, nor in metadata edit modal dialogue Custom Column tab panel, tried changing to All-in-one layout it made no difference

The data is there, I can see it in the book list etc. Tried it in 3.48, and 2.85 - same deal - which suggests it's something in my Books library database.

Must have been there for a while - I just hooked last weeks backup of that library and it has the same problem - my books library doesn't change much. Weird.

Any hints, before I try a database restore

When I changed the metadata edit layout I didn't get a restart request, but I had to do one, I tried resetting the conformation settings - still didn't get one. But I think that is a red herring to my main issue.
