Problem with setting Entry Format to Custom in a book
Hi,

I have two books I use for recurring activities: "Poetry Activity Book" Open in new Window. and "Writing Activity Book" Open in new Window..

Each of these is in Journal/Blog format to allow comments on individual entries. For the Entry Format (under the Book Settings section), I used Custom to get rid of any kind of table of contents listing on the main book page. I then manually created separate activity-specific index pages and put links to these in the Descriptions box. For example, the poetry book has separate index pages for Cards Against Authors 2025, Cards Against Authors 2026 and so on.

I recently edited the poetry book to change its rating from GC to XGC. During this edit, it defaulted to Full Listing in the Entry Format field and, even though I changed it back to Custom, it's now put in a list of entries on the main page that I can't seem to get rid of. For comparison, the writing book listed above has no such list. I'd like to get back to having no list of entries.

PS The Entry Format field has a link below it for Format Examples. This link goes to the item "Help Text Journal" Open in new Window. which is Access Restricted.
