The shortcuts you see are custom shortcuts set by me. You'll get an "Are you sure?" popup if you paste into multiple books. You can control which columns DO NOT get pasted with this Tweak

Look at the options on the Bulk mode screen  |
Thank you for the suggestions, I am aware of both of these methods. Unfortunately I am looking for something a little more automated than manually doing this for 800+ books...
Let me give a little background of my use case. I am running the content server on my vpn and accessing the opds catalog on my tablet. I wanted another entry that lets me browse by Genres and then find series with genres.
Unfortunately, on the opds calibre server, User subcategories are not treated as nested. So having subcategories for specific genres leads to having each subcategory being a separate entry at the landing page of the opds catalog.
so like, with having subcategories for Action, Adventure, Fantasy, it looks like this on the main page:
(the Searchbar)
>By Newest
>By Title
>By Authors
...
>By Genres.Action
>By Genres.Adventure
>By Genres.Fantasy
...
I wish it would only display the Top-Level "parent" categories so all of the ">Genres.X" entries would be combined into a single entry. Then
I could just use the User Categories plugin and add series to subcategories...
