I have a tag-like #kobocoll for Kobo collections. I'd like to add certain entries depending on the presence of certain entries in #genre column - e.g. if "fantasy" or "science fiction" are present, add "Fantasy & Sci-Fi" to #kobocoll.

thank you!

It would be something along those lines ...

program:
	genre = field('#genre');
	kobocoll = field('#kobocoll');
	intersection = list_intersection(genre, 'fantasy,science-fiction', ',');
	if intersection == '' then
		kobocoll
	else
		strcat(kobocoll, ',Fantasy & Sci-Fi')
	fi

Edit: The template processor in single field edit has been modified to do the following:

• If the template returns a value identical to the current value, it will be discarded and no change will happen.
• If the template returns an empty string, the plugin will unset the column value. This includes all data types (text, numerals, dates ... etc)
