Then it will be empty in calibre, and will probably not be shown in the catalogue.
CORRECTION to my previous post : I did manage to delete all "published dates" at once with the "edit metadata" tool, so that solves my issue and I will be able to get "clean" catalogues" (in EPub / Mobi) with no incorrect publication dates.
Thanks to all who mattered to post a reply, and sorry if I sounded like "the Rincewind of computer literacy". (I happen to teach how to read and write to illiterate immigrants, and it does not occur to me I am doing a bad job not starting with Victor Hugo and Jane Austen...)
