Everything works perfectly, except that my dialog box opens twice, and also opens when I save the code. It works, so it's not too bad, but a bit annoying.
What should I do to solve the problem?

And once again, thank you so much for this incredible plugin, which has saved me a lot of time!

Code:

python:

def evaluate(book, context):

	from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QInputDialog

	sortie = ""
	nom = ", ".join(book.authors)

	source, ok = QInputDialog.getText(None, "Modification des auteurs", "Entrez les auteurs :")

	if not ok:
	        return nom

	source = source.replace(" (Auteur)", "").replace(" & ", ", ").replace(" et ", ", ").strip()
    
	nom_transforme = []
	for auteur in source.split(", "):  
		parts = auteur.split(" ", 1)
		if len(parts) == 2:
			prenom, nom_famille = parts
			nom_transforme.append(f"{nom_famille.upper()}, {prenom.title()}")
		else:
			nom_transforme.append(auteur)

	return " & ".join(nom_transforme)

Don't put GUI code in templates. Put it in a module and pass the result as a chain variable as discussed previously.
