Customize the entry of "Edit Metadata Individually"

Hi

I would like to customize the entry of "Edit Metadata Individually"
For example by keeping only the "Tag" "Author" "Publisher" "Comment" fields
I searched (maybe badly), but I couldn't find it.
Is there a solution?
thank you all

You can set the metadata you want to download globally from the configuration in the Metadata download and individually for metadata sources by configuring the selected sources. Preferences => Metadata download. For me, I don't download Languages, Ratings or Tags .

There are some settings in Preferences->Look & feel->Edit metadata. However, AFAIK the content and layout of the Basic metadata tab is fixed.

It's one of the reasons I edit metadata in the book list using F2 & Shift+F2… where I can have the columns I want, in the sequence I want.
