Is it possible to combine metadata from two fields in order to create a custom column ("Finished") that will automatically enter the date when the device is connected and %read = 100 with the associated time stamp?

I currently have a "Finished" custom column for that purpose but I must enter the date manually via the custom metadata tab. I assume that a 100% read status (or desired %) plus Kobo Last Read TimeStamp must be referenced but have no idea how to go about it.

Thanks to a helpful MR contributor, this is what I currently have and would like to change/amend:

Code:

program:format_date(raw_field('#finished'),'dd MMM yyyy')

I've browsed through the thread back to 2013 but have not seen this specifically addressed, or I have missed it. And without programming knowledge, the tutorial is over my head.
