how to remove "plugboard template"

RobbieRobski · 10-06-2025, 06:20 PM

I'm not sure what I've done to enable this line on my books but does anyone know what I might do to remove it?

PLUGBOARD TEMPLATE ERROR Value: unknown field #genre

See attached screenshots.
Thanks

It looks as if you have attempted to place the contents of a custom column called genre in the subtitle field of the KoboTouch driver. Look on the third tab of its configuration dialog and see what you have configured for subtitle field.

Alright, so I found the setting but still confused on how to remove it from books.

I found a few books, sent them to the device (assuming that it would update them on the device), ejected/unplugged, checked and the plugboard message was gone.

So I did the same thing for a few more books, ejected/unplugged, but then the first batch of books I sent have the plugboard error again and the new books didn't lose the plugboard message.

I've gone as far as removing {#genre}, from the template editor as well as unchecking the subtitle box.

The subtitle field would be updated on the second connect after the books were imported. If the error is still showing after you have unchecked the subtitle box, on the second KoboTouch driver configuration tab, do you have Do not treat replacements as new books checked?
