Sorry but that information is saved in calibre not on Kobo by which I'm going to assume you mean Kobo's webservers? I've attached a couple of images of how I have this setup. The Store is done on each connect while a restore requires me to use the Restore function in the KoboUtilities Store or Restore Bookmark option.

Image 1 is the configuration page for the KoboUtilities plugin, image 2 is the columns in calibre, image 3 is the Store or Restore Bookmark menu image 4 is the custom columns.

Please note that this will only work for books read by Nickel since KOReader does not store information in the Kobo database.

I use this after any database issues where I had to wipe the database since it will restore the reading status and then I use the Update metadata in Device Library to set the date added to Date (the date the book was added to calibre).
