Adding a field to the "Review Downloaded Metadata" screen
Is there a way to easily add a custom field to the results screen?
It is the one that comes up after you do a bulk download for metadata & then choose the button to review the information. I have added a genre column & would love to be able to put that information in at the same time that I review the downloaded metadata--that way I don't have to go back and add it later. If there is a way, could I get the most non-technical instruction possible? Thank you! |

Custom colums are not supported in Metadata Download.
To do so would require detailed mapping of sources to results. If it was worth the effort, it would've already been a standard column. |

To do what you want would mean the Download metadata in bulk feature would have to cope with everyone's custom columns, which are potentially all different - some people have dozens of them. You should be able to edit your genre column in the book list - just hit F2 on the genre cell and enter value. Probably easier than using the single metadata editor.
