Custom column update doesn't work to me :-(
Step1
As suggested, I have custom column original_title, where is original title of each book. I search in scope of all books where author is the same and #original_title.
The search produce what I was looking for. So far so good.
Step2
I have series like custom column Translation (#translation), to have possibility store Author name and index for books with translations.
So for example if duplicate search found Michael Crichton - Airframe and Michael Crichton - Drak as search result books, I can't get #translation custom column for both found books set to Crichton Michael with index 1 (for both book the same index).
I can pick up #translation custom column from drop down menu but once it is selected, the button "apply selected changes" disappear.
Why to have setup like that:
- series like column Translation will display in Tag browser
- the topics in Translation tag browser will be grouped by first letter
- same series index for the same books will logically put them together
How it could look like:
