Rating column?

I'd like to add a rating column to Calibre, I'd assumed this would easy but adding a new column and using the quick create rating option seems to add a new rating that is separate from the rating stored in the books metadata.

What would I need to add in the lookup name field so that Calibre will display the rating from the books metadata?

Why add a new column for this? The standard rating column displays this information.

You remember when I said I assumed this would be easy? Turns out it's so easy I overlooked the default columns.

If you don't mind I'll slink away quietly and pretend I never made this thread.

There was me thinking there must be some subtle need that I was missing
