Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Make "Publisher" field a select instead of input, in the "Book Details Edit". The select should be filled with publishers already added in other books. This would avoid mistyping a name, which creates a second Publisher in filters.

It would work just like "Narrators" or "Genres" present in the same UI.

Why would this be helpful?

Let's say there's a publisher "BOOK". My dumb ahh can't remember which form did I use previously. When I input it as "Book" it creates another publisher in the search filters. Since most of the other fields use selects, I don't see a reason against Publisher being a select as well.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Self explanatory.

It's ui-text-input-with-label:

But should be a single item select, filled with Publishers from all other books. Multi select example on the same page:
https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/blob/a89a24e48e17d79c0d217397d8aad00f0ba336a0/client/components/widgets/BookDetailsEdit.vue#L41-L43

I would happily try to implement that, I just don't like contributing to a project this size, especially with 60 open pull request, knowing that my changes won't even be checked, not to mention merged.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.28.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

It's n text input, and not a select with autocompletion:
