Change "Date Added" metadata on Kobo to match the "Date" column in Calibre - solved
Whenever books are loaded onto the Kobo using Calibre, the value of "Date Added" metadata for each book on the Kobo is the date the book was added to the Kobo. Is there a way to have this value match the "Date" column in Calibre instead?
I am asking because whenever I reset my device or purchase a new device, I have to send thousands of books to the Kobo and sometimes I would like to sort the books in the collections on the Kobo by the date I added the books to Calibre, not the date I sent them to the device. Sorry If I missed a post talking about this but searching for posts on "Date Added" wasn't helpful. Feel free to point me to any threads that discuss this or have a solution. Thanks!

You can use Kobo Utilities Update Metadata to set Date Added to Date.

Thank you David for your response. I was using the wrong update metadata function by selecting the "update metadata" from the device button instead of the kobo utilities
