Komf is not locking Kavita Fields causing some metadata to get cleared on next scan.

Komf Version: 1.3.0 Kavita Version: 0.8.5.11

Issue: When komf adds metadata to a series on Kavita, it does not lock the fields, causing the metadata to be cleared on a next scan. This is less of an issue when using Komf to generate a comicinfo file, but not everything gets added to the comicinfo file causing everything that is not included in the comicinfo file to be cleared from Kavita.

Example: If a series had multiple publishers Komf only adds one in the comincinfo file, but all of them to the Publishers in Kavita. All the extra publishers get removed on a next scan.

This issue has already been mentioned in the Kavita github, but it is intented behavior for unlocked fields to get cleared, so fields have to get locked. https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/issues/3524

Is it possible for Komf to lock the fields? (Or else for Komf to add multiple Publishers to the ComicInfo File comma separated?)

If you need any more data let me know. :) Thank you

I actually had this problem as well, and since there seems to be no fix for it yet, I made a small python script that can lock these fields instead. But it would be awesome if this could be integrated in Komf natively.
