And strange, I did try setting multiple metadata (standard and custom) at once, using that syntax... didn't seem to work.

However, I will try again. Perhaps I had it formatted incorrectly.

set_custom doesn't have '--field', though.

calibredb set_custom [options] column id value

I take it I should try

calibredb set_custom [options] [column id value]*
It appears

calibredb set_metadata -f publisher:'Some Publisher' -f comments:'big block of HTML' bookID

does work as one would hope.

My attempts at assigning multiple custom columns in one call, not so much.
