I use the tags column to populate the subtitle on my kobo, so I want it separate from my collections. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's a simplified version of the template I use to populate my #kobocoll column using Action Chains' single-field edit.

program:	

subjects = $#subjects;
admintags = $#admintags;
existing_colls = $#kobocoll;

	new_colls = strcat(	
		if 'omnibus' inlist admintags then 'Omnibus,' fi,
		if 'OVERDRIVE' inlist approximate_formats() then 'Loans,' fi,
		if $#booktype=='Fanfiction' then 'Fanfiction' fi,
		if '^Cozy Mystery$' inlist subjects then 'Cozy Mysteries,' fi,
		if '(Juvenile|Young Adult)' inlist subjects then 'Juvenile & Young Adults,' fi,
		if '^(Fantasy|Paranormal|Science Fiction)$' inlist subjects then 'Fantasy & Sci-Fi,' fi,
	);

	merged_colls = list_union(new_colls, existing_colls, ',');
