If I use "Copy To Library" to copy bookA from the master libary to the SciFi Library... it copies the book and metadata over. If I edit bookA (ie: change genre, update series, etc) and recopy it over to the SciFi the book copies over and replaces the old book with the new book. The metadata stored in Calibre, however, does not update. The only (super clunky) way I have found is to go to the SciFi library, delete the book. Go back to the Master Library and recopy the book to the SciFi library.

It's just another step that is just ugggg especially when doing bulk updates, etc

Is there a setting that I am missing that would allow me to use "Copy to Libary" and when it finds an already existing book in the library it overwrites the BOOK and the METADATA?
