Ah, I guess it makes sense that the column type cannot be changed once there is data in it.. dah I guess that explains why sometimes when I copy a book to another library, it carries the Note values, but, other times it does not.
I guess I knew my last resort was to create a new field and move the data, but, I'm thinking it will be pretty cumbersome.. As far as the Bulk Edit suggestion.. that's the other issue I originally mentioned. It does not allow Bulk Edit operations for the column I want to copy If you choose the data in the column and then bulk edit metadata, the screen that comes up for custom fields is completely empty.. maybe it depends on the column type..?? Thanks for all your help!! |

Sorting Problem Fixed!
Quote:
Go to Tweaks in Preferences Recognizing numbers inside text when sorting: value should be: numeric_collation = True Although, I did not have numbers in my Notes data, it fixed the sort order, so, this option must affect the general sort algorithm. |

I would regard that as a bug, it makes no sense.
But if it's fixed your problem I guess it doesn't have to I wouldn't bank on it always working. What on earth prompted you to even try it? BR |
