Hi all,

Adding some books to Calibre and every time I download metadata, it downloads the date "published" as whenever it was added to e-book. I don't care about that - I want to know when the author wrote (and/or originally published) the book. I have pored over this forum and the tweaks menu inside Calibre and cannot for the mind of me figure it out. Is there something I'm overlooking?

TLDR get rid of useless Published field, bring on Written On/Originally Published field.

Thank you!
