Thanks for letting us know you have a solution.
I tried the User Categories approach, but it wasn't suitable for me because the User Categories plugin doesn't support custom columns.
I must confess I don't use the Metadata Copy & Paste technique on my
Books library. I use it on my
Media and
Journal libraries, which have less than 200 and 50 Authors respectively. This makes it easy to find a 'real book' by the same Author with the metadata I want to apply to the 'book' just added.
