hi there,
sorry i didnt respond to your question, i figured out it was because i was using "Comma separated text, like tags, shown in the Tag browser" and not "Text, column shown in the Tag browser". swapping those over fixed it up. it was happening with all of my anthologies so i knew it couldnt be specific to the one in the screenshot.
im back because i have another issue (i will definitely respond this time!) and i need to solve this to solve a separate issue i'm gaving with the generate cover plug in.
i have a manual 'collections' column (#mycollections), which sorts into my virtual libraries and also my collections on my kobo reader. i manually edit it because for example "tolkien" includes both lord of the rings and the hobbit.
i also now have an ao3 fandoms column, the one i was having anthology issues with before, (#ao3fandoms).
what i'm trying to do is autofill my #mycollections with the metadata that comes into the #ao3fandoms column so i dont have to do it manually for every fic. for example, i want a fic tagged with "the lord of the rings - all media types" and "the lord of the rings - j. r. r. tolkien" and "he Hobbit (Jackson Movies)" ALL turn into "Tolkien" in the #mycollections column
i'll include two images of these columns with some examples as to why they need to be seperate, as well as the change in the personal.ini i tried to make (which i'll copy and paste here too)
i'm only trying with asoiaf/hotd to start with, and once i figure out how it works
Code:
replace_metadata:
category=>(A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms|Game of Thrones (TV)|A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin)&&collections=>ASOIAF | GoT
category=>House of the Dragon (TV) =>#mycollections House of the Dragon
that was me trying two different things, and i tried several things before too but this is just where ive given up and decided to ask for help. im autistic and i just dont understand code and i dont know what im doing!! is it even possible? i did a lot of googling and read everything i could to try and understand but i dont think my brain is made for this so its time to ask the experts!
did this all make sense? is there any more information you need? thank you so much
