No duplicate inventory number
I want to catalog a physical library and want to add a column for inventory number. The default ID column doesn’t work for me because half of the books already have an identifying number.
I created an inventory number custom column, can I make it so it doesn’t allow repeating numbers? |

Copy date to a new column
If I have read a book I put the date in "DATE".
Is it possible to copy this data to a self-created column? |

@Koosr1946 - IMO it would be better to put the date (e.g. today) into a "self-created column" directly.
Add a custom column, thus: Set the date when and as appropriate: BR |

Thanks for your response, but that's not what I want.
There are approximately 600 books in which I have set a date. I would like to copy/move those dates to a new column. If I have to do that one by one, I'll lose a few days. They are now in the "Date" column, but with every change the change date is set there and my date is overwritten. Maybe you can change that so that there is no longer a date when changes are made. |

Kobo Utilities has a feature to store your reading progress (reading location, percentage of reading, book rating, and last reading) from the Kobo device to the Calibre library. Here is the setup. |

Just a clarification by means of a screenshot. I would like to move the contents of the DATUM column to the GELEZEN column If this is not possible then that is also fine, but then I know for sure and will have to do it manually one by one |

Test on 1 or 2 books to make sure it's right. |

Using a raw_field() template is a good idea. Avoids all sorts of formatting problems. |

Thank you for your help, but this 78 year old man can't figure it out yet.
I added 2 screenshots. In the 2nd I don't see "Date". What else can I do? |

I believe it works fine, but I have another problem that I already mentioned a bit.
I had copied 3 books to a temporary library and then saw that the date had changed to today's date. I don't know why and how that happened, I don't want to use that date at all anymore. Do you know a solution for that? |
