Hi, I have a question. I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

I use include_in_characters to add ships to characters, so that the characters in ships are added to the character list. In Calibre itself, this never results in duplicates because the duplicate tags are merged. But in Fanficfare's created title page, where I've included characters in my titlepage_entries, it includes the duplicates from the ships column if they happen to overlap.

For example, if the original fic includes both the character tag for "Harry Potter" and also the ship "Harry Potter/Hermione Granger", the title page will have the character tags "Harry Potter,Harry Potter, Hermione Granger". I'd like to remove the duplicate.

If I set the column in the titlepage_entries to my calibre column (calibre_cust_mycharacters) instead of the 'characters' column, this fixes the issue, but for anthologies it doesn't include anything at all. Is there any way to set this option differently when I'm uploading a series versus a single work? Or to remove the duplicate tags?

To be clear, the settings look like this:

[defaults]
titlepage_entries: status,<br />,ships,<br />,characters,<br />,calibre_cust_mytags,<br />,description

[archiveofourown.org]
include_in_characters:,characters,ships

If this is not possible it's fine, I've lived with the issue so far, and I can just turn it off and back on when I upload series. I just thought if someone knew how to do this, it would be stupid to keep struggling with it.
