That works. Thank you.

A minor question about the template tester. Heres a template I am making for my 'mark as read' action chain:

Code:

program:
	
	if 
		check_yes_no('#onkobo', 1, 0, 0)
		then format_date(today(),'iso')
else $$#lastread
fi

In the screenshot is a book that is affected by the if statement and returns 'today'.

However, changing $$#lastread (raw field) to $#lastread in the else statement changes it slightly. Why does this occur?

edit: wait, I think it's because time elapses...
