Question Possible to copy contents of custom metadata into comments on copying to device?

Hi,

I have a bunch of custom columns in Calibre, and they work great. I'm using Moon+ Reader on Android to read the books, but when I send them to device, my custom metadata is not available on the device.

My question: Is it possible to keep the custom metadata as is in my Calibre library, but append them to the book comments when copying to device so I can see them in Android in some form at least?

You can use a metadata plugboard to update the comments field during the send to device. You will need to create a template that puts the data in that you want and is compatible with the ereader app.
