Auto-fill some metadata when an ebook is added in a category

Hello

I want to know if it is possible to auto fill some metadata when an ebook is added in a specific category ?

For example, I add an ebook in a specific serie(or category) then it should add editor, and langague specified for the serie or category.

There is a apply TAG (the field) option: These are user 'presets'
It depends on how/what you are doing to which get used

Preferences: Adding Books:Tag to Apply
Add from ISBN:

(there may be Plugins that also have a 'Tag' option as part of their usage. look at the PI you use options)

Dublin Core (DC) metadata is normally a part of the books OPF. Series info IS NOT standard DC metatata

Does "Tag to Apply" works only when a book is adding ?
I want a "Tag to Apply" when I modify an already added book.

Most of time, my new ebooks have craps meta and "Adding Books" doesn't work.
I added the news ones into a "to manage" library, then when I have time, I manage these books into good category, series, date, etc... into good libaries.
