Good point. Thanks for mentioning it. You are correct: the values for composite columns are not in the database.
I added the following FAQ entry

When I look at book details using the cloud connection my custom columns "built from other columns" are missing. Why?

The values for custom columns "built from other columns" are not stored in calibre's database, Instead, calibre computes them when needed. CC does not contain calibre's template processor so cannot compute them, with the result that the values are empty.
For the same reason the values for these columns will be missing in CC if you download the book using the cloud connection. The values will be populated the next time you connect as a wireless devlce.
