Since the above doesn't seem to be the case, I made my own date added column, but it's blank for all the books. Is there a way to add this column so it autopopulates with the real date added?
Just double click in that column on the title row. Today's date (or type in a date)
Optionally:
highlight a bunch of records (to change )
Click the Edit Meta-data button.
Switch to the custom tab
Set the date you want ALL the selected records to have.
Done
