Hello
I am using JRiver 26. I was wondering whether it was possible to alter parameters in the default library fields.
My specific question concerns the two fields “period” and “style”. I sometimes want to make two separate entries in these fields, and have the file separately categorized under either of the entries. I had hoped that separation by semicolon would do the trick but find that this is not the case. This contrasts with how entries separated by semicolon are treated in the “genre” field. The difference seems to be that the “data type” for “genre” indicates “list”, while for “period” and “style” the “data type” indicates “string”. However, I do not seem to be able to make any modification to these characteristics for default fields.
I guess that I have the option of creating new user-defined fields, with different names, to use instead of the default fields “period” and “style” and doing a mass copy of the information in the current “period” and “style” fields. Given the size of my data library, this would take some time (as well as being less than elegant). I was hoping that there might be some more direct approach to solving my issue.
Thank you
