Question ISBN
Hi,
Obviously I am new here, so I apologise in advance for getting everything wrong. I will learn.

Is it possible to enter just an ISBN into a field (?) and then use that to download the meta data? If no supporting field, would it be feasible to add an ISBN field to allow this to be done?

Thanks and kind regards,

jB

What book do you intend on downloading metadata for?

If the book has an associated ISBN, it will automatically use it to query the metadata sources -- all identifier: entries are used when downloading metadata.

The field is called Id's (Identifiers)

If you use the clipboard? icon to the Left, it prefixes the entry with isbn:

Fetch metadata is biased towards id's
