A bit of a unique use case (I think). I am using Calibre to manage my library of digital comics. I am then using Calibre Companion to send specific comics to my tablet to read.
What I would like to do is when I add a new item/issue to a series, update a custom date field I've added (#latest_item) with the current date for all items in the series.
As an example, say I have a series with 10 issues going back 2 years. When I add issue 11, I would like to trigger an event that will update the #latest_item date field for all previous 10 issues with the date issue 11 is added.
The end goal is to create reading lists of series that have recently had new issues added and send the entire series (old and new issues) to my tablet via Calibre Companion.
I've looked at the Action Chain plugin, and while promising I'm not sure this gets me exactly what I want. Or at least I haven't figured out how to use it to do what I want
Not sure if there is an existing plugin or feature in Calibre that I can leverage. Or would this require me to create a new plug in?
Ideas and suggestions greatly appreciated.
