this may have been covered elsewhere, but no amount of googling is helping me find it. does anyone know how to get the "rating" column to show up on a custom title page??

i think half my problem is that i've confused the situation myself by having my entire library of works come from ao3, which has all these naming conventions that don't match up to anything else in calibre or FFF. like category = fandom, etc. etc.

context: "rating" in ao3 stands for like "mature", "explicit", "general audiences", that kind of thing. "rating" in calibre is a 1-5 star system. i didn't use this for the first several months of playing with calibre and FFF, but i've come to really enjoy using the rating star system as i go through all 1,700-something works in my library for the first time in over a decade and organize it all/cull the herd.

i have in my callibre->preferences->a custom column setup called Rated with a lookup name #rated. i have in my personal.ini->titlepage_entries: rating, and also rating_label: Rated. So everything to make the ao3 naming convention for explicit/mature/teen/general categories is set up and functioning properly on my custom title page.

that said, i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the Rating (1-5 star system) that is already built into calibre to show up on this title page. because it's already built into calibre as a standard column you dont have to make on your own i thought it would be as easy as sticking the word "ships" under titlepage_entries and having relationships pop up, but when i look in configure FFF->standard column page it isnt there. and to confuse things, the titlepage_entries: word to use to get the other, ao3 definition of a rating to populate is #rating, which is the lookup name in calibre for the star system column... lol

TLDR; how the hell do you get "Rating" (stars 1-5) to show up on a custom title page? i have no idea what to put in personal.ini to make this work and i can't find anything about it online. i'm sure i'm missing something easy, i just have no idea where else to look!!
