What is the Date Column called in the Search Field?

I know this is a stupid question, but "date" isn't an option even though when you hover on the Date column it says that is what it's called. I'm trying to "Search and Replace" from the Date column into a "Last Read" custom column because I got a new Kobo and want things to be in roughly the same order (I sort by 'recent' on my Kobo) and Kobo Utilities will let me do that using the last read column.

I've done this before, but it's been several years. I know the regular expressions to use, but none of the columns I'm selecting in the search field are the right one.

try timestamp. It's a weird column with two names.

if important, raw_field('date') copies the time, while {timestamp}/{date} doesn't (resets it to 00:00).
