@StevenJackson No worries, I was able to replicate this.

@StevenJackson OK, I found the bug, and it actually affects all fields. If a field has any information, it’s impossible to delete it, only replace it 😱
I already fixed it and will push the update in a few hours. It can take a few days for Apple to review it. So, unfortunately, we have to wait. Sorry for that.

@StevenJackson But if you’ve got a lot of books, doing that by hand is a pain. That’s why I’m also working on a feature that lets you nudge chapter boundaries visually on the waveform, so you won’t have to edit timestamps in a text file.
That’s the next big thing I’m building — but realistically it won’t be ready for at least ~2 months.

@StevenJackson Thanks for clearing that up, the fix I pushed should cover this case as well.
The problem was that the Description field for some of your books was being saved in a different internal field (“atom”) (ldes/synopsis) than the one that was getting overwritten (desc).
The update now writes to both at the same time, so replacing the description should work correctly.

@StevenJackson hi Steven! AudioBo 1.2.6 is live in the App Store. You can update and try the Description field. Please let me know if it’s working now.

@StevenJackson Hm... I did a bunch of different tests, and it works on my side.
Would you mind sharing the exact book with me? I’ll take a look and see why updating is acting up.

@StevenJackson iCloud Drive? Dropbox? Google Drive? Anything will work.

@StevenJackson Hi Steven!
I recently shipped a new feature that can fetch book metadata (including from Audible). It generated a lot of feedback, so I’m currently doing tweaks/adjustments based on that. I’m planning to send an update to Apple for review on Monday or Tuesday.
After that, I’m back to the backlog (which is mostly user feature requests). If you’re looking for something specific, tell me what it is and I’ll be honest whether it’s on the near horizon.

@StevenJackson Oh, both of these glitches have already been fixed. You can expect them in next week's update.
After the recent AudioBo review on 9to5mac.com, I got a few dozen feature requests and suggestions — thanks to everyone who sent them in.
I’ve already shipped most of those ideas and improvements in AudioBo. The 1.2.7 update hit the App Store today.
