I wanted to see if this would work for a hierarchical column.

Code:

# fanfictags combines several other categories to a single Calibre column. 
# category2 for includes/replaces before inclusion (without editing source category and title pages).
include_in_fictags:,char2,ship2
include_in_char2:characters
include_in_ship2:ships

replace_metadata: 
## Fanfic tags
 char2=>(.*)=>[Characters].\1
 ship2=>(.*)=>[Relationships].\1

The replace messed up so that every character/ship looks like
[Relationships].foo/bar[Relationships]

Messed up regex?

EDIT: Yes looks like. Calibre must've automatically dropped the trailing period: https://regex101.com/r/m9P7u9/1
