- So I enter all data in this generator/PI and it will be displayed in book details?
- No need of custom columns and composite columns for this kind of info anymore?
- It's searchable?
- It's sortable? I don't think so
My main focus would be pen-names, related books and series.
If that were possible without a big template thing, I would be very pleased. My calibre has already become noticeably slower in the meantime
