However every time I update the story it adding the old tag and removes the tag I've added.
So I'm guessing there is some setting I have wrong, but I can't figure out which.
I don't want to check "New Only" in the customs columns because that would mean I don't get the tags that might be added by the writer after the initial download.
An example for a story is: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28121997
The character is Addison Montgomery which I change into Addison Forbes Montgomery
Usually I use below code, but it doesn't work since Grey's Anatomy isn't tagged as a show
Code:
characters=>^Addison Montgomery$=>Addison Forbes Montgomery&&category==Grey's Anatomy Universe
What I want it do do is keep the tags I've added or amended but update any new ones added by the writer. |
You seem to be implying ("I don't want to check "New Only" in the
customs columns...") that you're actually setting to a custom column.
"Keep Existing Tags when Updating Metadata" only applies to Calibre's Tags column--not custom columns of the tags type.
Re: Your replace_metadata--that story doesn't have "Grey's Anatomy Universe" in fandom (aka category for AO3), therefore it doesn't match the conditional.

Good luck with that.

Personally, I consider it futile. But I will help with specific problems.
