Create a template to only list one author.
Hello all,
I first want to thank you for such a great program. I am currently working on transferring my files to save to device and disk. Sometimes the files will be too long because of multiple authors. I have tried the following template: {Authors:sublist(0,1,\&)} - {pubdate} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} But it does not seem to work. Would somebody be able to advise? |

This probably is failing because the '&' is a Display convention (inserted by the program) This is a relational database structure. you don't get to see all the complex magic that happens behind the screen ![]() The DB has an entry for EACH Author you see Then the book has a link key record for each Author the BOOK has book1 author1key book1 author27key book1 author215key You see it as :author1 & author27 & author215 The bottom line is you probably have to get the Author-list, Then take it back apart. which will probably use Program mode and not a simple template you show |

Take out the backslash in front of the ampersand. Characters are not escaped in single function mode.
