It isn't fully automated as there are two dialogs displayed to review the changes and make any extra needed, but, it works.
I would like a bit more detail if possible. I am new to Calibre and this feels like a rather advanced operation. First of all I have to mention that I don't have any books in my Calibre because the sole motivation for me to use Calibre is this one specific purpose. Given this should I upload the books from my device or get it from the Kobo app/web site? It seems like Kobo device data might override desktop data or something so I want to be sure. Also I am lost on where I customise the dialog boxes and how. I attached images of where it seems I need to make changes. The dialog box with "Percent Read Column" doesn't have any drop down options
