Towards the bottom of the FFF config's personal.ini tab, there's a section for 'Calibre Columns'. Make sure you have 'Pass Calibre Columns into FanFicFare on Update/Overwrite' checkbox checked.

Now you can add calibre_std_rating to titlepage_entries. Note that it shows up as a 1-5 number. You can change that to some form of star using replace_metadata if you like.

There's a button that will show you the entry names for all of your Calibre columns.

oh my god thank you!! i did have that box checked but had never actually clicked on show calibre column names, lol. I see they're all listed in there now, including the default rating. knew i was missing something simple!

i also have this thing i can't seem to get working that is probably another simple issue: some of the labels i'm trying to make aren't labelling? they just get labelled whatever it was gonna be based on the prefix that was already placed in there.

i got "category" to be called "Fandom" on my titlepages just fine, and now rating_label = Rated while calibre_std_rating = Rating which is perfect (thank you!!). but freeformtags, chapterslashtotal, ao3categories, and bookmarktags are all not changing on my titlepages to the label i put after the : below (i hope i hid the personal.ini correctly, never done this before).

for example i put ao3categories_label:Genres but on my actual title pages ao3categories is called AO3 Categories, every time.

are these pink labels not actually cusotmizable labels because they're extra_valid_entires? am i missing a step somewhere? i've been haunting your plugin-defaults.ini page to try and figure things out on my own since i have no idea what i'm doing (sorry), but all i can find on this is line #42 that explicitly says "## Labels may be customized." so i must not be writing something correctly?? does this also have something to do with the calibre column names list because stuff matches up to ao3 things weirdly? any guidance is appreciated!

Using spoiler tags is good, thanks for that. Using [code] tags (# mark button in the full post editor, not shown in quick-reply box) inside the [spoiler] tags will also preserve formatting. Like so:

Which is relevant to what your issue, I think.

I suspect you put your _label lines under [defaults] in personal.ini, which has less precedence than than the same _label line under [archiveofourown.org] in defaults.ini. See the INI wiki for full precedence details.

Try putting them under [archiveofourown.org] in personal.ini instead.

Correct.

Live parsing extra_valid_entries for color highlighting is beyond my ambitions. So while the _labels form is recognized, it's highlighted magenta (instead of blue) to indicate it maybe correct, but isn't certain.
