Simple Text Custom column
I want a simple Text column like Title for a separate Sub-title column.

No Lookup (normally used once, but 2 books could have the same). Not Tags, Not Series and Not like comments

Am I missing the something when choosing?

Do you mean the completion box? If so, no.

Other than you not liking seeing the completion box, what problem does it present?

A chance to mess up (or have others using my system, help).
The completion box allows a quick change, that might not be immediately obvious.

@chaley - I have a column as you describe for subtitles and straplines, the completion box is irritating, an instance of what I call 'too clever by half' behaviour.

Two stories can have the almost the same strapline yet otherwise have no relationship with one another whatsoever. They're often word plays on the same well know quotation - that's what sub-eds do.
