First, let me say that I absolutely love the new features - thank you! This makes this plugin one of my most used and most valued; it saves me so much time, and I'm very grateful.

However, something seems not to be working right - or maybe I'm doing something wrong. I have the plugin customization set up so when I add a book to my GR "read" shelf, the "shelf add actions" include adding the value "today" to my Calibre "dateread" column. Also, I have checked the option to upload Calibre date read to GR.

When it is actually time for me to use the plugin to add a book to the "read" shelf, sometimes I want a "date read" value other than today - e.g., yesterday, since I am not always able, or don't always remember, to do this on the actual date I read the book. So in the add-to-shelf dialogue, I simply change the date in that field from today to yesterday.

When I do this, the date uploaded to GR is, as I want it to be, yesterday. But the date added to my calibre "dateread" column remains today.

I can't figure out what is going on. If "today" is the only accepted value, then 1) why does the field in the add-to-shelf dialogue allow me to change it to another value, and 2) why is the value I enter - yesterday - being uploaded to GR rather than today, since it is supposed to upload my calibre date read to GR, and my calibre date read is today? If I am allowed to change the field to a date other than today (which I hope is the case, for reasons above - as much as I'd like to be that prompt, it's not always possible), why isn't the date changing from today to yesterday in calibre as well as in GR?

Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help.
