I will help with specific issues when I have time (my time will be limited this week, FYI). But all
my general answers are already here or in the wiki.
If they don't help, perhaps someone else can.

IMO,
chapterstotal isn't very useful. Most incomplete stories have '?' and if any story in an anthology has '?' the sum of
chapterstotal could well be less than the sum of
numChapters.
chapterstotal is a site specific metadata entry. IE, FFF only collects it for AO3 (and other OTW) sites. In fact, it's derived from
chapterslashtotal using
add_to_replace_metadata.
From defaults.ini:
Code:
## chapterslashtotal contains 1/3 or 1/1 or 3/? etc as reported by AO3.
## chapterstotal is just the total chapters part after the /
include_in_chapterstotal:chapterslashtotal.NOREPL
add_to_replace_metadata:
chapterstotal=>^([0-9])+/(.+)$=>\2
If you set a metadata entry (using
custom_columns_settings) into a float or integer type custom column, FFF will automatically split the list by commas and sum the values when it's an anthology.
But with the default definition of
chapterstotal, that's a problem, because of the '?'.
Here's a brute force approach make
chapterstotal the total or current when total is ?
Code:
## chapterslashtotal contains 1/3 or 1/1 or 3/? etc as reported by AO3.
include_in_chapterstotal:chapterslashtotal.NOREPL
add_to_replace_metadata:
chapterstotal=>((?P<chap>[0-9]+)/\?)|([0-9]+/(?P<totchap>[0-9]+))=>\g<chap>\g<totchap>
Putting that in [defaults] works while doing away with '?' for
chapterstotal.
Splitting out a separate copy or putting it under a more specific section should be possible, but I'm too tired right now.
