I have a novel published as serials booklets ( I don't know the exact name in english, sorry. in french "roman en livraisons", in german "lieferungsromane" ).

The complete novel was published in 164 separate booklets ( 1 or 2 every week ).
No problem to record them : Just fill correctly the 1, and then 163 x the Clone command, changing the issue number ( and date ) for each issue.

Problem : the novel above was first published in 1910 with color illustrations, and reprinted in 1920 ( same number of issues, identical text, but different black & white illustrations )

Question : I tried but didn't find, is it possible to clone the complete run of 164 issues in one operation ( The only thing to do after this action would be to change the date and the illustration infos through "set field value" )

Any chance to have a "Clone" button/icon in the upper bar, in the next version ?

Not currently possible, but I'll add this to the wish list (the ability to clone multiple selected books).


I would prefer to not have too many icons on the toolbar. You can however use the Ctrl+K shortcut to clone.
