full ISBN in catalog

Hi Folks,

I am trying to generate a catalog that will contain the ISBNs of those books that already have it listed. I have tried creating a column with just the ISBN, as well as a column based on the ISBN column. When I create the catalog, instead of the full ISBN I get numbers that look like this: 9.78031E+12. My isbns are almost all ISBN13. Is that the problem? Does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Zeph

Create a TEXT column, not numeric (floating point), ISBN 10 Is a Text format
You might want to look at the CLI: calibredb --list options identifiers
