Accessing composite column template

I know of two ways to access the template of a composite column for editing:

1. Through "Add your own columns." Unless it's changed recently, this requires a restart.
2. Enabling the column in the book list and pressing F2. This does not require a restart.

Are there any other ways?

You can see them in the database as a JSON representation. Table "custom_columns", row "column id", column "display", JSON dictionary item "composite_template".

Plugins may or may not offer the ability to edit a template.

Yes, I saw that! Though it's probably not too useful for editing except in specific cases (e.g. #1924247, I edited the db to remove virtual_libraries() from the column since the recursion caused Calibre to crash/freeze.)
