Hi,

I've been using the field "Date", that has the lookup name "timestamp", as the first published date. Now I have created new field called "first published" that will replace the "Date" field.

I have a lot of books, and I wanted to do the "search and replace" method to copy all dates from field "Date" to field "first published."

The problem is that in the search field in the "search and replace" window does not contain the field "Date"/"timestamp". Can it be added or fixed?

Thank you very much
