Blank Published Date?

DarrenHobbs · 09-28-2014, 08:24 AM

When new books are added to Calibre the Published Date field is automatically filled with the current date. I can of course change it to the correct date, but how to I leave it blank? In previous versions just entering '0000' would blank the field, but this is not working in the newest versions. How do I do this?

Calibre does not populate Published unless the metadata is included in the book/download (can be configured).

Date is the date the (Library) record was first created. This can exist without any formats ('an Empty Book')

AFAIK 0000 has never worked in any Date/timestamp type field.
Try - (minus) to clear
Try = (Equal) for Today
