Is there a way to restore the custom column data from the metadata opf files? I know that calibre edits the opf file when changing column data.

I had a column of "Date Read" for my books that I sync with goodreads but I accidentally deleted the Date Read column when I was messing with the column preferences (yikes).

So is there a way to tell calibre to restore the data or is all the data deleted from the opf files when I deleted the custom column?
