Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Would be nice to have the option to limit what fields update when quick matching, so that Metadata I already know is correct or has been fixed doesn't get changed to something erroneous.

Why would this be helpful?

Not all databases seem to be consistent with how they list things causing me to have to manually fix a lot of them.
On the other hand some fields (like Genre's) don't need to be perfect to work passably for my purposes so I'm fine updating those with quick match if I'm sure it won't ruin all the fixes I've had to do.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Would say you could have a similar expandable section like when batch editing where you can select which fields you'd like to update.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.17.7

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Quick match screen, currently only has option to toggle all metadata or cover art

This would have come in handy when 2.19.x was released and book descriptions became RTF.
