MultiSeries Replace Metadata Issues
chatgpt is full of good ideas, but it has failed me, so i am back again. at the bottom is my full general ini, minus character-specific irrelevant replace_metadata lines, for reference.
the issue: i have set up a MultiSeries custom column, because the calibre default Series column/value field can only show one series. it seems to work, and the titlepages of each work also properly reflect each series [1] [2] etc. as defined by the rules i wrote in my ini. however, for some reason, i am incapable of making replace_metadata rules for multiseries. the works in question have two series tagged to them: one with a "- Recommended Reading Order" at the end of it. this is redundant, so i want to remove that series tag entirely.
i tried both of the below, and each seems to work when not being interfered with by stuff in my [defaults] ini:
troubleshooting has led me to identify that the specific part of my ini that is causing my issue is something in these three lines:
Spoiler:
Code:
titlepage_entries:series00HTML,series01HTML,series02HTML,series03HTML,series04HTML,<br />,category,ships,characters,<br />,calibre_std_rating,status,rating,warnings,ao3categories,bookmarktags,<br />
include_in_series:true
custom_columns_settings:
series00=>#multiseries,a
series01=>#multiseries,a
series02=>#multiseries,a
series03=>#multiseries,a
series04=>#multiseries,a
if i remove the above lines, everything works just fine. the titlepage & multiseries column both reflect only the one series tag, not the redundant one, which is what i'm going for. but not having these lines (especially the titlepage_entries) screws up the rest of my titlepage. if i add any combination of these back into the ini, it removes everything from the multiseries column entirely, or it keeps the multiseries column in calibre correct but shows both series' on the titlepage, or shows both series' tags on both the titlepage and in the multiseries column, etc. everything gets wonky.
suffice it to say i have tried 11 different iterations of the replace_metadata line in varying degrees of broadness v.s. specificity, deleting works entirely and then redownloading fresh, restarting calibre to make sure ini changes are applied and caches are cleared, manually clearing series & multiseries columns before updating to see what is being overwritten and how, removing & reapplying my entire [defaults] [epub] [html] & [archiveofourown.org] ini sections line by line to identify where things are going wrong, among other things. i cannot figure out a resolution, and both chatgpt & i are out of ideas. i'm sure it's something simple, it usually is, but i'm at a loss and can't find anything relevant even here in the forum for fanficfare.
any ideas of what i'm doing wrong, from anyone here?
