You can bulk read the data from the timestamp using templates in case you want to migrate the data to another column.

If I create my own field then every time I add a book from now until the end of time I have to remember to manually enter that date. That is really annoying. If I could just set the current date column during this one time import then the whole problem disappears and moving forward I don't have to do anything special or different since the existing date column has exactly the semantics I want.
