Questions regarding custom fields in paid version

[Shiroze]

Hello!

I just found this tool and am currently testing the free version. I am also using the How Long To Beat (HLTB) Plug in, as it is the reason I was looking for a tool like this in the first place.

I noticed that I was able to add the times via the Plug In, but the new custom field does not show in the List View (The header, where you can sort things by title and so on).
My guess is that custom fields do not show up in there or is this something that would work in the paid version?

Another issue I have is saving. The times were showing in the details just fine, but it would not save them, when I close the software.
I would think this works in the paid version, as I am not able to create custom fields myself? It was a bit confusing that I would be able to have them via the tool at all.

Maybe someone can help me with this

Custom Fields are a Premium feature.

Even in Premium, they are not viewable in List View.  They can only be seen in the game details panel or when editing a game.  Though, there is a feature request to have them added.  Feedback - LaunchBox - Support Custom Fields as Columns in Game List View

The author of that 3rd party plugin is a very creative programmer.  As you discovered, the Custom Fields can be [creatively] added. But they cannot be saved in the free version. They would however be saved with a Premium license.

Thank you for your reply!

Yes I noticed it is a premium feature, but wasn't sure how it would behave when I get it. Then I will hope the feature request will be implemented one day.

Ah, that is good to know! It is nice to be able to see and test it in the free version, even if it does not save. I will think about getting premium then.
