Tag Mapper for custom columns

ilovejedd · 03-09-2018, 06:05 PM

Question, is there a way to get Tag Mapper working for custom columns?

No, there isn't. The rationale for the tag mapper is that book metadata often contains inconsistent, redundant tags, so it is useful to have away of automatically wrangling them. That doesn't really apply to custom columns, since those presumably have data generated by you.

Okay, thanks.

Alas, I'm using custom columns for extracting metadata from epubs downloaded from AO3 via regex full text search with the MCS plugin so they're just as bad. I think I'll just try fixing it via program templates.
