See screenshot of my dedicated library for testing templates on blank records. I play around enough, mostly for other people, that I finally took the plunge. Am I crazy?  |

eschwartz - If you crazy, then me loco - my test database has its own instance of calibre potable [sic], that's what you see in my SQLIte Browser snap above.
Go to other end of the food chain, and look at what's in the database. If you can't to do that, save a csv catalogue that has pubdate and load into Excel (or your favourite text editor) or similar - see attached. Then work back up the chain to see where the transform happens.
Maybe none of this will explain why you and the OP are getting different results - but it may give a glimmer of a hint - no idea what though.
Do you happen to know how to enter a published date earlier than 1st Jan 1000CE into calibre? Ψ²
