Thanks, but this would be not very handful if I need to apply new default tags author-based to already existing tags. Maybe would be better (in my case) with a new column just for author's attributes.
It would be nice to apply them by drag the author on a specific tag. It would be still a manual method, but faster. I would create a category with every single author's possible attribute (nationality, activity period, sometimes even genre, literature's type, if all his books are classic or not, even used style, or target of readers)
I looked for ways to solve this aspect with this method, I found 2 drawbacks: Authors can't be dragged on tags , and opening list Author for this purpose is impractical, would be better have the author list aside the category items, to drag authors on them. Wouldn't this make things easier? After that, every book with that author would inherit default attributes. Maybe I'm describing something that is already possible in some other way, I don't know!
