I don't think that there is.
There's a feature for adding tag(s) when it's an anthology and a pattern feature for naming them. But all of the
replace_metadata and include/exclude stuff happens on individual downloads, not anthology books.
There is a metadata entry
anthology that is set to the string 'true' when it's an anthology that was added for using with
generate_cover_settings and also be used with
custom_columns_settings, but can only have the value 'true' or empty. Again, it's after
replace_metadata processing.
Instead of struggling with your fic status desires in FFF's rather esoteric system, I'd consider a Calibre custom column-from-columns instead and hidden custom columns for status, chapter count and anthology.
Then when you decide you also want different special statuses for not updated in last 6 months vs 12 months vs 18 months you can consult your
dateUpdated and just make that custom column-from-columns more complicated.
