I'd like to have all of the series information from AO3 in one column (#series_ao3). I'm okay with also having #series1, #series2, #series3 and so forth too. In fact I might prefer that! (I can always hide those series in the tag browser and just look at #series_ao3. Having them listed separately in Book Details and on title pages is fine and possibly preferable.)
I've searched this thread & the web & I've seen multiple methods. And I've tried them and things I came up with, but keep running into problems. Sometimes I wind up with series that are smooshed together (so if a story is in two series named Series One and Series Two, Series One will show up in #series1 and Series Two will show up in #Series 2, but then in my #series_ao3 column I get a single series called "Series One,Series Two").
I was also running into a problem where a single series would be listed multiple times in any series column. I'd have Series One [1] and Series One [2] in #series1 and/or in #series_ao3. (But I think that might've been because I had the column type for my series as a tag column instead of a series column. IIRC that issue went away when I switched to the series column, then I started having other issues.)
Honestly I've lost track of the things I've tried and the failed results for each. If I need to give details I can try things again and take notes as I go. But I figured maybe I should just ask here. This really seems like it should be simple to do either with a composite column or in personal.ini or a bit of both.
What would be the best way to handle this? (I don't really need to know what I was doing wrong; I feel like I didn't explain well enough for folks to be able to help me there. I just want to know if this is possible & the best way to go about it.)
Thanks in advance. (I feel like I'm missing something really obvious.)
