Format Publication Column to "YYYY" ?

Hi Folks, In my main Calibre list, the "Published" column shows Month-Year. I'd like it to show only the Year. Should I make a custom column for this, or is there a way to change the format of how the built-in column is displayed?

I am not near Calibre to check but I am reasonably sure that under the Preferences->Tweaks there is an option to specify the format of that field (on the basis that mine shows only the year).
