copy between libs, keep custom fields

drMerry · 05-24-2011, 07:47 PM

I had a problem during moving data from lib a to lib b.

I had set my edition information in a special field.
But on the new database, I didn't made the edition tag.
When I moved my data, I could naturally not see the edition-information.
But when I created a editon-tag, I still could not see it.
Is there a way to get this info back or even better to auto create a column when books are added with this info?

No, you have to have the same columns in both libraries. Use the create new library with copy structure to do this.
