New Metadata Field

Hello.

Is it possible to add custom fields that are saved in the book's metadata and displayed in the "Edit Metadata" screen?

Thanks.

@cercapatch - With the exception of custom columns 'built from other columns', all custom columns are automatically added to the metadata edit dialogues.

If the setting of Preferences->Behaviour->Edit metadata (single layout): is Default they are in grouped into a separate Tab panel labelled Custom metadata.

The All-in-one setting puts everything onto one panel.

I'll let you discover what the Compact setting looks like

Thank you very much BetterRed.

Your help is very much appreciated.

I will do my homework: "discover what the Compact setting looks like" and let you know.
