Please standardize the attributes used in the Sermon Label:

  • Title -- string; title of the sermon
  • Subtitle -- string; optional
  • Creator -- string; name of the creator
  • References -- reference; optional; Bible references for the sermon as a whole (e.g., passage being preached on)
  • Date -- reference; optional; Date reference when the sermon was first delivered
  • Liturgical Date -- reference; optional; Liturgical Date reference when the sermon was first delivered
  • Series -- string; optional; sermon series

and to attributes used in the Sermon/Illustration portion of the Personal Book compiler:

  • Passages: Standard Bible reference formats. Accepts multiple values separated by a semicolon.
  • Topics: Accepts multiple values separated by a semicolon.
  • Tags: Accepts multiple values separated by a semicolon.
  • Date: Accepts multiple values separated by a semicolon. (The compiler will attempt to parse the date.)
  • Speakers: Accepts multiple values separated by a semicolon.
  • Venues: Accepts multiple values separated by a semicolon.

Then autogenerate the label so that sermons in a Personal Book automatically appear in the Sermon Section of the Guides.
