I don't do enough with the template language to get used to it and have to look it up each time. For the columns, I think you would need to use a text column for the list of dates and just treat them as a text.

I understand that the read count is a Goodreads question. Regarding the template language to treat the date as text, that is what I am trying to do. I am attempting to take a date column already set up (latest date read) and have that data go into another text column that won't erase each time the latest date read column changes. So far the best I can come up with is the column built from other columns but treated like text. I still can't get the dates to stay in that column after changing the original.

Does this make sense?

I simply want a column that keeps track of and doesn't erase data that came from another column. There are no date columns that can be treated like text.

I'll go back to the user manual to see if there is anything in it to help me out.
