I have an idea for a feature. A tab to select if a book is ongoing, limited series, mini series, to kind of accompany the complete and incompleted concept.
It would be nice to be able to sort by ongoing titles or just mini-series
When you’re saying “tab”, do you mean like a field for a comic? Or for a series?
Where would you see this tab? And would it just be used for grouping your own series together into one of those?
(I would think maybe the “tag” field would work here?)

I was thinking along the lines of the drop downs for imprint, or series group, some where to designate that type of book:
To your point, I guess a “tag” could work too. I was just curious
I’d be interested in seeing that too!
Having a tag to designate “One-Shots” and “Short Run(s)” and “Ongoing” sounds like a cool idea. I have a ton of one-shots and short runs for Batman, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Sandman, etc.
It’s definitely not a “must” but would be great to see that optional tag associated.
But “ongoing” would be a property for a series, right? Not a comic?
Tags we can do ourself, I am thinking a drop down the same way we can assign a format or series group

Correct, for a series. But if it is a one-shot, it would be for the comic. Similar to a drop down like series group, or imprint

That’s how I understood it!
Has this matter ever been any further consideration?
We have a series field for “Completed” but that is more for the user to mark it as “I have everything for this series”.
I feel like if we would consider this, it would be a property for the series (even with a one shot, you could edit the series there, and mark it as “ongoing”). - and then see if you can sort by it.
It might also be a field we can just introduce into the series pick list, and might even be able to “give to the user” from Core, as we maintain a similar field in our Core online database.
It’s on the ideas list for now.
Great, thank you true response and consideration
Hello!! I wanted to follow up to see if this idea ever made any progress??
It’s on the ideas list, there has been no consideration/work on it as of yet, as other projects are currently first in line. I can tell you this will be quite a big project, because introducing a field property for a pick list item is something that has to then be added to android, ios, connect, and all our sync processing systems (whilst not breaking the old sync with the desktop versions (which will not get this field). This seems like a small project, but it is in fact usually quite big / something that needs to be handled very securely.
So it is on the ideas list, which means it is to be considered, and no promises it will make it currently.
