If you want to try this then you would create a "Column built from other columns". The "contains html" box should be checked. This template returns the HTML note, if any, for the first author for a book.
Code:
program:
get_note('authors', list_item($authors, 0, '&'), '')
It is possible to use a loop to get the notes from all the authors, but I haven't tried it.
The performance might or might not be acceptable. The only way to know is to try it. |
Thank you @chaley, that works and is enough for my purpose. I can understand multi-authors being a problem to display.
In case anybody else wants to do this and not sure how, some images are attached.
1. Create a new column as shown in the first image
2. Create a column icon. For the icon, you will have to source it online then add it into your roaming folder...
