Adding a book to a shelf updates GR from calibre. A sync updates calibre from GR. So, a sync for a shelf whose sync action has the option "Sync date read from Goodreads when syncing from this shelf" selected, will set the read date in calibre to what is in GR. But, that will probably clear the date if the date is not set in GR.

With those add to shelf options, the read date in calibre should be sent to GR. But, as I said above, it doesn't always work. Unfortunately, it doesn't fail consistently. I have seen it happen when I put a book directly on the read shelf. But, it can also happen if you add it to current-reading shelf and then move it to the read shelf to quickly. And I'm not sure how long "to quickly" is. For my usual usage it works. I add the book to the currently-reading shelf when I start reading a book. Then move it to the read shelf when finished. That rarely happens on the same day. That seems to always work.
