What happened?

On book description, I can see that it is taking Publisher Year from the m4b's file metadata Recorded Date, which contain YYYY-MM-DD
Upon opening up in "Details" section, the Publisher Year section is empty.

In metadata.json the YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00.000Z is recorded in the publishedYear section. (publishedDate is null)

This screenshot shows this in detail.
