Is there a way to add out own call numbers to the “other call number” field besides individually editing each book? I know you can bulk change/add tags and other things but wondering if you can do the same or similar for the “other call number” field.
Thanks in advance for any assistance. New to LibraryThing and TinyCat but loving the options for our very small private school library.

>1 sheril.brasher: Not by using Power Edit, but you can include the field in one of your catalogue views and just add or copy/paste into it

The field can be used in a lot of ways but it was designed as a classification/call number one and that means uniqueness usually. So it was never added to the bulk update fields like tags.

>4 AnnieMod: Some people use it for location as it is one of very few fields a user can use it for his/her own purposes. So it would be nice if poweredit allowed OCN bulkupdate.
