For example, if I wish to default the metadata in my Tags column to titlecase, can a command be set up to either modify ALL the existing metadata within a certain field (i.e. a Tags column) or to at least program the modification of ALL future imported metadata? If so, what might this particular command look? Is it possible to use a simple text command or would a regular expression be ideal? (The coding involved is still a little confusing...)

Does this help:

For example, can the metadata in one field (Tags) be referenced in another field (Genre)? [If this is confusing, I have attached a screenshot to provide context.] I'm wondering if there is a more efficient process for creating the metadata infrastructure for my customized Genre column that can take its data from an existing source.
More to the point, is there a way to setup the metadata hierarchy within my customized Genre column independently of assigning the related metadata to existing books in my library?

Probably need to use a virtual column: i.e. one with
Column type: Column built from other columns, behaves like tags and a suitable template.
Have a play around with something simple ==>>
The calibre template language.
