Its possible that I could call the template parsing code to determine what the value should be - that wouldn't be for a while. Alternatively it could be considered a bug in Calibre - it should write out the value of the column as its known at the time it saves the metadata. Something we can ask Kovid.
I suspect there might be a similar issue with enumerated values - I haven't tested these and I can see that use the same display field to hold the template.

Can you tell me how to write some code, attached to a button, to fill in the value field of a column, even if it is hardcoded, based on a concatenation of the values in the two other columns since I do not know python. I know it is too much to ask, and has nothing to do with your plugin, but could you please please help. It will make life sooooo simple.
