This should be a very simple thing, but I can't figure it out.

The two default Date columns in Calibre (leaving aside Date Modified) are:

1. Timestamp for adding the file to the program.
2. Publication time metadata for the work.

Being default columns, I cannot modify them, but I want there to be a difference in date formats between them. I tried to create a custom #timestamp column specifying the format M/d/yy (e.g. 12/31/1999). However, upon restarting Calibre the column begins in last place, showing no data. No data will ever come up in display.

How can I achieve my goals here?
