Bulk Meta Data Edit Resetting Custom Field
First things first. The version of Calibre I'm using is 7.24.

I added a custom field to calibre. Went fine. Just a read column with yes/no selection. I had most of my books set with the proper read/not read check marks. So far so good.
I then today I decided to update the tags in my database using the bulk edit meta data function. Every single tag got reset back to X, if I had a check mark there.
How can I prevent Calibre from resetting the field when I do a bulk edit, when I want it to stay the way it is? When I want to change the field in bulk, it works great.
