Adding custom metadata fields
Is is possible to add a custom metadata field to Calibre? While the Publisher field is available, it does not appear that the Publisher Location/Place is an available metadata field.
Thanks |

Hmm, this actually sounds like the Entities Manager plugin might be better suited.

Thank you both for your feedback and suggestions. I was able to add the custom column, manually populate it, include it in an export file, import the data in the target application. Ideally, of course, I would like to be able to populate this column with the metadata coming from Amazon, WorldCat, LC, etc. Calibre does not seem to include a tool for mapping additional metadata or changing the source of the target metadata.
