Well this is exactly what I want, so therefore I'm not able to do it in a format of my choosing. I honestly don't understand why this isn't possible. Didn't Calibre used to be able to do this, or am I crazy?
I just think that it's insane to need 4 fields(3 for the date and 1 composite column) in order to do full dates when I know them, but let me do partial dates when I only know partial dates, especially when I want to use multiple date fields(at least two and possibly as many as four).
This could apply to more things than tracking my reading. For instance, if I cared about when my books were published, I'd want to be able to enter a full date when I knew it, but still have the option of entering a partial date if I only knew the year, or the month/year.
Perhaps I should make a suggestion to the developers about this since I consider the ability to enter a partial date when needed to be an important function.
Thanks anyway for your response.
