MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Adding custom column with any lookup-name gives me empty column as a result?

I'm trying to add a custom column, but no matter what I choose, it results in an empty column.

For example:

I go to Add your own columns dialog box
Create a custom column using the following. Lookup name: timestamp; Column heading: New Column; Column type: Date; Format for dates: yyyy)
Click Ok, Apply. Restart

Here I'm expecting to see a new column filled with four-digit numbers (the same ones I see in the original Date column, which also use timestamp lookup-name), but my new column is totally empty.

Why? Am I missing something here?
