Can I assign a "title" to a large number of individually entered 'words'?

Hi Steve, I have a growing number of phrases I have entered which I want to drill. The “word list” allows me to pick a group of phrases and words BY BOOK source. How to I assign a name of my own choosing to tie together all the phrases I have entered so I can practice them exclusively?

Currently these individual phrases should not have any source, because I am the source. Now, I did add a special character (#) to the end of the english translation so I can search for all of them. It would be super nice, and I should think super easy, to just bulk assign them to a “title” of my own choosing (“MyRussianPhrases”, let’s say). And then I believe I could DRAMATICALLY speed up my course to fluency by drllling only the phrases in my assigned title? So that is where I think the assignment to a new title should be integrated.

Do you see any problem with this other than assigning all my language island phrases to a single “title”?

Hi Steve!

I’m gratified that I have three stars from other users who liked my suggestion!

I’m a little disappointed I haven’t yet heard your opinion? I gather you are super busy on some new project?

Anyway, another reason you might want to allow users to organize material in “books” of their own choosing is it would encourage some of us – me, for sure – to begin organizing material I no longer need for export and then deletion from readlang storage. I don’t really want to do that one word or phrase at a time. And I don’t feel comfortable just deleting material on a whim; I did that once before and regretted it. Allowing me to move it to an appropriate “book” and then allowing me to download the whole book, would make it feel a lot safer to review and then delete a lot of my old phrases. Just something to consider!

Again, if this just isn’t possible, or would be exceptionally difficult to code, I understand. Otherwise it seems like an obvious and powerful feature to add to readlang.
