What happened?

When trying to clear subtitle field using map details. It keeps saying "No updates were necessary"

Also, is there a way to filter all books with subtitles?

What did you expect to happen?

Select Multiple (Or even 1) Entries and click Edit at the top right.

Thank you @advplyr . Looking forward to the release (and pausing my book updates). Too many books have the audio data where the subtitle is "Book series, book 3" when it is already filled in the "Series Field"
