Love the custom columns. It would be nice to have a way to pre-populate the data of a new custom field.
For example, I have added three new custom fields: Read, Store, and Date Read. For the Read field, it is trivial as a tag search made filling this in easy. Same with the Store. For the last read, I haven't been keeping track of this. I have been keeping track of purchase date (by using the date field). So it seems reasonable to pre-populate the Last Read field with a query such as:
if (#read:yes) then (value=date) else (value=undefined)
or even
(#read:yes)?(date)
or even
(#read:yes)?(date+1d)
I would then, of course, have to go through and change values such as for Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth and Confederation series which I read annually in a binge before the next book comes out (it's really a sick disease. I need help).
For now, my sql-fu is good, so it is not too much of an issue for me to do this, and I realize it would need a new language to do so it is a little complicated of a request.
