How to make custom column for Goodreads shelves?
I use Goodreads information for metadata and covers via the metadata plugboard, and I also use the Goodreads plug-in to add my books to shelves on Goodreads.

I would like to make a custom column that lists which Goodreads shelves I've placed books on when I add them via the Goodreads plugin. Mainly so I can know which books I've added and where, and which have yet to be added to my GR library.

Is there a way to do this, and if so, how? And also, is there a way to sync this column in case I move books around on my GR account (and again, if so, how?)

Thanks!

@Lily7 - I am not 100% sure, but have you tried this optional plug in ==>> Goodreads Sync

@Lily7 - I thought perhaps your OP was referring to the Goodreads metadata source PI, hence my 'I'm not 100% sure' - it was a shot in the dark

I don't use any Goodreads plugins in anger. Hopefully someone who does will be able to help you.

Is it that whiteeyed kaffir? says the citizen, that never backed a horse in anger in his life?
Also as in 'never fired a shot in anger'

Figurative for 'seriously'
