@Alex - I admit to not testing in context of adding a format direct, I edited an existing OPF to put something in the custom column, added that to the library, and then I added the real format file - I suspect it worked because I used the 'get metadata from book' option in Preferences->Add Books.
That approach required me to remove the .opf file masquerading as a format file. But no matter, calibre invariably has more than one way to get the desired result - sometimes I wonder if too many ways
