Making Catalog Add CustColumn

Making Catalog to ePuB
I've been wondering why i cant add included section with data from custom column.

i can change the genre to pick any column,
but i cant add new?

I want to add
#types (bcoz I wanted CN, LN, KN, SRL, WN )
#awards (bcoz i wanted Pulitzer, Nebula, ManBooker, Newbery Medal, Newbery Honor, etc)
#publishers (because i have fixed publisher to show, )

I read on the sticky, i dont understand how to add it.
tq

Catalog is nomaintained anymoe which is very sad.

To add custom data I use following workaround:
- select description in the catolog epub setting which will offer you one note field (at the bottom)
- combine all information you like to see in addition from various columns into one new custom colum
- enter this new combined field as additional note field

Be aware when selection description also images will be added which make the catalogue very big.
Also there is a very strange content table i.e. showing title but sorted by author.

At least the image/description design could be adjusted (template.xhtml).
I tweak the view for my needs. So it is ok for me.
