regex I am using:
^(?P<title>([^_\(]+)(\w+)) \((?P<author>[^\,]+)\, (?P<publisher>[^\,]+)\, (?P<published>[^\)]+) |
A 'date' has YEAR AND MONTH AND DAY (at least internally).
It has to or 'date' arithmetic would not be possible.
Calibre assumes the missing data from the current date.
(when I encounter Published with a missing Month detail, I use '1'
I also us '1' for day because my preferred, faked in flag, last day, is not a fixed value
There is a: Preferences: Tweaks: to control the 'Display' of dates (by field) in the GUI. Note:the full date will still show in exported metadata
