Code:
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,category_modified
include_in_category_modified:category
replace_metadata:
category_modified=>House of the Dragon (TV)=>House of the Dragon
add_to_custom_columns_settings:
category_modified=>#mycollections

thank you so so much for this!!! there are a few problems but its put me massively in the right direction and id never have figured this out on my own!
so, while fiddling with the code you gave me i have discovered that:
Code:
category_modified=>Star Wars - All Media Types|Star Wars Original Trilogy|Star Wars Prequel Trilogy=>Star Wars
category_modified=>Star Wars - All Media Types=>Star Wars
category_modified=>Star Wars Original Trilogy=>Star Wars
category_modified=>Star Wars Prequel Trilogy=>Star Wars
all work the same! im adding this in case someone has the same problem i have and comes looking for answers.
the real problem is that any ao3 fandom name with a character that gets used in code
doesnt work. for example "Game of Thrones (TV)" has brackets, and "A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms" has the & ampersand. therefore, they are not read correctly and instead of modifying to the new column name i wanted, just copy themselves over in full.
i included those star wars examples because "Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types" and "Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game)" and "Star Wars Legends: Republic (Comics)"
don't work.
ive included colour coded images to show what i mean. i added harry potter after the first screenshot to see if crossovers work (they do!).
i hope theres a way to fix this- i tried putting the fandom names in quotation marks but that didnt work.
even if this is as much as we can do, it already fixed the problem i was having with the generate cover plug in, and manually editing out metadata is way easier than typing it in each time!!
so yeah, thanks!
