I'm not sure why this is happening, so I may be posting in the wrong place.

For some time, when I connect my Kobo Sage it updates some of the information in the Calibre library automatically, which I don't like. I only made the connection that this was the action today, but I had been noticing changes for a while, so I can't say what triggered it.

When I connect my Kobo and I have a partially read book (usually fanfiction epub if that makes a difference), my 'Read' custom column will update to the current date and the 'Pages' custom column changes to a different number (usually 1, but I have also seen it at 19 and not sure what this is taken from).

I do get an 'Updating (Book Title)' message when I connect my device, but it's hidden behind the File Explorer and today I happened to close that quick enough to see the message.

This is fairly recent (no more than 2 or 3 weeks), and it didn't do this before. I would prefer to modify my columns myself.

Can anyone help me with where to look to adjust this: Calibre, Kobo, or a plugin? (The plugins I use that I think could affect this are KoboUtilities, JobSpy, Count Pages...maybe FanFicFare, but I don't see how)

Thank you!
