Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Build Dates have to be manually entered either by the user or mod, from the Header information after a dump. This could be automated I believe.

Describe the solution you'd like
If MPF could pull the Build Date in YYYY-MM format, from the header/disc info, and include that in the Read-only tab and submission info, that would automate one more step and avoid user or mod errors.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Dealing with the current state of things and entering it manually.

Additional context
The Header stores Sega CD "build" date slightly different from Saturn - so some conversion would be needed. In the Header, it is stored on line 0110 - you'll see "1993.APR" for example - that for redump needs to be "1993-04."

Fortunately, for all discs that contain it, it should be in the same location as far as I know.

Adding this feature, would remove yet another manual step, and would be greatly appreciated for efficiency and accuracy of the information submitted. Thanks!
