Hmmm. Works fine for me. The only thing that comes to mind is if the column only allows certain values and doesn't allow Completed / In-Progress.

You can have Updated date in tags, or in a custom column of it's own, but not added to the text of a column.

I've added to the wishlist a feature to fill tag-like columns with multiple metadata. So it may show up someday.

As for removing the "Last Update Year/Month", you can do that with replace_metadata again. This shows both removing replace_metadata and changing In-Progress to Incomplete.

Code:
replace_metadata:
 ^Last Update Year/Month: \d+/\d+%=>
 ^In-Progress$=>Incomplete
(One of the other developers added the lastupdate feature ages ago, before the plugin existed. That's why it's a bit awkward to work with calibre.)
