CC-CEDICT for Anki (Chinese dictionary)

Thanks for your work on this add-on, it is very useful.

Is it possible to preserve the field tag? for example, I would like to tag all notes added from the add-on with a specific tag, so that I can see which notes were added from it in the browser.

This would be useful as I found it sometimes add duplicates if at least one field is slightly different, for example the same word added from another app might have a different definition field/formatting, even if hanzi and pinyin are exactly the same.

Or else, is it possible to add the option to choose which fields to use for duplicates check? instead of all fields by default (not sure if it is this way).

Great and much needed addon, thanks!
Can the batch function be added to it?
I.e. when you have a list of words inside Anki (the cards with only headword available), to batch add to them translation, reading, examples etc from the Cedict.
Also the auto filling of the fields would be very handy, when you input the heading into the first field and the other fields are filled automatically.

Please also make it possible to input many words not only comma separated (as now, which works just terrific), but also separated by others signs like LF (new line symbol), tabs or colons

I got an error of each field can be only used once. May I know how to fix this?

I just got this add-on and it looks perfect for what I want, but every time I get this error:

I would be grateful if you could let me know what I need to do to make it work.

Worked fine when first starting it however as soon as I used a different note type for the cards, the following error was generated.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: It's working fine again, once I changed the deck and started afresh with a new card there were no errors. Very helpful add-on, thank you.

Works really well. I was getting sick of copying and pasting from online dictionaries to add new cards. This will save a lot of time.
Two things that would make it perfect: If the pinyin could be styled by tone like the HSK deck: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1855818143
and
If tags could be inserted from the card creation dialogue.
I'll make those feature requests on Github.

This is a great help! thanks. Quick question, is it possible to select more than one result to add to a deck all at one time? Based on the notes above, I tried "Control+C" but that did not work. Again, thanks for your work on this!

It worked only with 3 words and it doesn't work anymore.
Can you please help me with this problem?

Fantastic add on! Would be even better if there was an option to select tags when creating cards.
