Help Needed for Custom Columns Created From other Columns
I need some help with creating a couple of columns based on other columns, if it's possible.
I have a tags-column with different tags in it. Can I create a custom column based on that but only with specific tags in it? Like if the first column has M/M or F/F the column created from that is automatically Same-Sex Relationship. |

Why burden the processing with on the fly populating every launch?
Do a query for your tags, select all, use bulk mode MDE to set a static (normal type tag) in you Tag like column. Or make that query into a VL |

Thanks, that would work.
Do you know if it's possible to make exceptions to a tag in user categories? |

If I add the Tag F/M to a category but don't want certain relationships included is that possible?

@Tanjamuse - A User Category only includes the values you have added to it, viz:
If you want something to show in the book list, you could create an appropriate icon, e.g. ⚥-⚥, and use an icon-rule to add it to the Relationships column. BR Ctrl+Win+C puts your monitor into monochrome, I just discovered |
