Thanks for your response Chaley. I apologize if I sounded a bit belligerent in previous posts. I don't know why I have such a strong memory of being able to do partial dates in Calibre, but if you're insisting as a developer that it was never possible, then perhaps my memory got jumbled up with other program demos that I briefly tested and ended up rejecting for one reason or another.

The two fields option while not ideal is certainly more manageable than four. Thank you for providing the screen shots as it really helps me to understand it in my head better as someone that has pretty much no python coding experience.

The one thing I'm missing though, and forgive me if it's something really obvious, but how do you get to the edit template screen you showed in the second screen shot? When I'm making a composite column it just shows a one line box to put in template code.

Also thanks for pointing out the custom column order tweak. I'll definitely play around with that later. It should as a whole make it much easier to navigate inputting my custom data
