Edit of metadata : subject

HI,

I noticed there is no option to edit, clear or update the metadata field "subject" in Calibre.

Is it possible to add the field "Subject" to Calibre?

The only Subject I know of, MAY appear in comments (and Comments are most certainly editable)

IMHO Tags is a place to define which subject(s) the title covers

But ...

As far as I know calibre saves its Tags values in <dc:subject>Tag</dc:subject> lines in the book's opf. One Tag per line.

- you can edit 'subjects' in the ePub content.opf file using the calibre ebook editor. Sometimes I want to remove them, in that case I use Sigil's metadata editor which has a one-click delete, I prefer using it rather than editing the content.opf where I might stomp on the spine or manifest.

FWIW - one reason I avoid cluttering the "Tags" column with housekeeping indicators is that they end up as Subjects - e.g. Reading is a town in the UK.
