Hi everyone.

I'm trying to set a value to a custom column, but got stuck.

Here is what I got:

Code:

mi = db.get_metadata(book_id)
mi.set_user_metadata(#percentage, progress)

But it doesn't work, because 'progress' just a integer.
According to the Manual, I should use:

Code:

set_user_metadata(field, metadata)

How is a 'metadata' represented? I've noticed is not just a value, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
