Custom Series Column

Rellwood · 01-04-2020, 05:39 PM

I have a second series column for shortened series names (but not the Calibre PDF style) basically, I change the series name to what I want. I do this to shorten the name for Kindle sending.

I noticed that when I do a bulk edit that when I try to do a search and replace from the series to the second series, I can't do it.

I tried to search series for : Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter
to Replace with
Anita Blake in #second_series

It won't do it. It just copies the original series over. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, is there a way of creating two different plugboards for emailing to kindle?
