There's a wiki page about the update modes that may help.

Thank you for the link, however I am still getting no changes when I use "Update Calibre Metadata from Saved Metadata Column" mode to update an existing story. I still don't understand how the information gets from the Saved Metadata column to wherever I want to use it when updating using this update mode.

If I make a new custom column meant to hold freeform ao3 tags, it will not populate when I update an existing AO3 story using "Update Calibre Metadata from Saved Metadata Column" mode. I have tried using different types of columns and different lookup names, but nothing has worked and "Columns built from other columns" types require a template, which I am not familiar with yet.

I thought I might be missing a setup step after configuring the Saved Metadata column. Either that or that I was trying to use the Saved Metadata column in a manner that simply isn't possible to begin with.
