Merge different formats of book to acknowledge as the same book

I'm not sure if this is something that has been stated - or if there can be a work around. I absolutely love how I can track my audio reading VERSUS my physical reading. However, if I mark a physical copy as owned and TBR but then read the audio edition, the physical copy stays on my TBR instead of acknowledging that I've read that book, just as a different edition.
The same thing with tags - if I tag the physical edition, my tags don't transfer to the audio addition.
Not an immediate issue or concern, but just one of the things that right now I have to manually correct. Thank you so much for all you do!!!

I came looking for a similar suggestion. For long books, I use audiobooks in the car but read the ebook or print version when I am able to sit and read. It helps me keep momentum. I’m looking for a way to indicate that I used two editions simultaneously, but still only count it as one book without having to DNF one of them.

Something that may help with the tag stuff - use the "Switch to this edition" functionality rather than tracking a separate edition of the book. That will also transfer any tags you set on the book to the other edition you're reading. Though that would mean those tags won't appear on the owned physical copy, unfortunately.
Hello! This is intentional as people often treat different editions separately — so they may be rereading a book in the audio edition, or have the digital edition marked as 'owned' and then tagged as 'kobo' or 'kindle', and that wouldn't translate to the audio edition, etc.
