How to automate updating #writing_status based on last #updated date?

[Far_Pen_6884]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice (maybe using Action Chains or another solution) on automating updates to a custom column, #writing_status, in my Calibre library. My workflow uses two custom columns:

• #writing_status (options include ‘In Progress (WIP)’, ‘Abandoned’, etc.)
• #updated (records date the fanfiction was last updated)

Here’s what I want to achieve automatically:

• If a fanfiction’s last #updated date is more than a year ago, set it to ‘Abandoned’ in #writing_status.
• If a fanfiction is marked ‘Abandoned’ but has been updated within the last year, reset its #writing_status to ‘In Progress (WIP)’.

Has anyone set this up via Action Chains or another plugin? I’d appreciate pointers, sample templates, or recommended workflows!

Thanks in advance.
