TIP-ish: Apostolic and Church Father Resources vs Multiple Book Display
Logos has several sets of 'Fathers' to choose from. Most are multi-volume, to include indices to match the sets up. Very handy.
Of course, these would be great candidates for Logos' Multiple Book Display (MBD), with one set, as the leader, and other sets as the followers (to include various commentaries, as well).
The problem, however, is that MBD assumes a leader, as a single volume ... not a set. If you open, volume 12 of a set (as leader), and attach follower sets, opening volume 10 of the same leader set, means you have to attach followers to that volume too! And on, and on.
The trick, is to attach followers to the first volume of a leader set. Then, always open the first volume (which includes the followers). Then work the fathers references with the leader. Logos, then, automatically attaches the followers. And for practical reasons, choose the most extensive Fathers set, as the leader set.
I only noticed the issue, when matching Patrologiea Greek to my Schaff volumes. And a Fathers layout (with MBD), is probably most optimal.

This is very good but I am not sure I understand how to put it into action. I do not quite understand your method to do this. Can you walk me through it DMB?

For a multi-book display panel for Church Fathers:
- start with volume 1 of your longest series as the base
- add your other series in your preferred order
To use, open volume 1 of your longest series
Modify as necessary for works not in your longest series.
