How to add personal book genre/categories in Calibre 6.8

Hi,

I'm wanting to know how to add columns and sub columns for my own book categories/genres, so I can drag and drop books from the main central view to the left hand columns?

I manage to set this up in a older version but I'm unable to this in version 6.8?

Help would be very appreciate

Regards

Dave

Add the custom column:

Then define the custom column as hierarchical:

That was improved a few weeks ago - rather than having to enter column names, it's now tick-a-box.

I have done that and it adds the column into left hand area but it not letting me drag and drop books into them like the previous columns I made before 6.8.

Works for me, viz:

The selected books acquired their Genres by drag-n-drop onto the Tag Browser items immediately after adding them.

What OS do you use, I'm using Windows 10.
