If this feature does not yet exist, is it doable for it to be added?
According to my experiments, custom metadata is imported if you use Add books from directory (One book per directory). The book format(s) and the opf must be in that directory.

If I add the book directly from the format, then calibre uses the OPF inside the book, which almost certainly won't have the correct custom field information in it.
