Thanks again.
Maybe, but practice on a Library copy .
If you touch Author or Title, all bets are off. Those affect the file system.

Consider if Hierarchical tags / series to serve for a cleaner, simpler look.
I also make use of a Assumed (default) value:

History (General) <<<These just land at the top level indicating Not more refined)

History.<specific Period and/or place>

Military.History.<period> <<< Notice I don't need a entry under History as this is NOT a paper card Catalog that needed those x-ref cards. You have a computer It can find tags:history anyplace (as long as you don't set the Exact match flag) <<< Also note: 3 levels with 1 primary tag
