I already had "Automatic Management" selected, and it updates my categories ("Bookshelves" in Kobo parlance), as it has done for years. It did nothing for moving the Calibre date to "Last Read" in the database.
Using the "Update Metadata" in Kobo utilities is required in order to change the date "Last Read". It has to be after the books are transferred, and after Kobo does the database update -- before that happens, there is no record in the database for the new books for "Update Metadata" to adjust "Last Read".
The way I described works. Leaving out any steps makes it not work.
