Is there a way to choose which field anki uses to track progress in the importer from a custom deck?

I am using both an immersion deck and a custom deck, but when I try and do a fresh import of the words I have learned I see words marked as learning (as if its a card already) which don't have any cards associated with them. For example, lets say I saw that 複雑 is marked as "learning" but I never made a card for it. When hitting Ctrl + shift+ b, I see that 複雑 is included in the sentence of another card, but it doesn't actually have a card for its own. Is there some way I can choose to ignore the fact that it is in sentences of some cards and only check a specific field?

@cnethe The database migration is happening to fix this issue. There is no workaround until the database migration is done (which is in Early Access)

Will this feature be exclusive to legacy? Does the database migration also impact the new migaku?

I used to struggle with this too!! You can absolutely fix it by going to import word data from anki and then where you select your note type press custom and it lets you choose the specific field from which it takes known words. when I was using a premade deck I had it set to word and word reading only but now that I am mining if I mine a sentence with unkown words I either know them or there is another card for it so it doesn't matter but for custom cards it is a total lifesaver
