Really simple answer: YES
 Look at Bulk mode of Metadata Edit:Search and Replace (Bulk mode happens when more than 1 book is selected) 3 steps: 0) BACKUP the Library, Bulk mode does not have an UNDO 1) Copy the series NAME to the series field 2) copy the series-index to the series-index field 2.5 ) Verify things look great 3) cleanup the Authors field (.+?)\s-\s.+ ->Authors |
