I'm trying to update the metadata on a bunch of books.

I've used the Goodreads plugin, to link the books to Goodreads, so they all know have a Goodreads ID in the ID's field. I like this step because the plugin gives me a list of all books from the search and I'm able to select the specific one.

I've configured Calibre's metadata update to only use Goodreads, yet when I run it, it fails to find ANY of these books, so clearly not using the Goodreads ID!

Can anyone explain this behaviour and suggest a fix/workaround?

Thanks
