To think that was one of the reason I added the the new custom columns.

Any change. adding/removing a column affects all records.
You can't even save the column value to another 'timestamp' column, because that activity changes things. Same goes for a restore attempt.
Just what I was fearing.

Leaving aside the last_modified column who was working as expected.

Is there a way to populate a custom column with the modified date of the epubs files of a library?

At least I would want a new column with the last time the book was updated.

Thanks for your answers.
