I have this code:

Code:

book_ids = self.gui.library_view.get_selected_ids()
        db = self.gui.current_db.new_api

        for book_id in book_ids:
            book = db.format_abspath(book_id, "txt") # This method breaks thread-safe promise of API, fix later
            metadata = db.get_metadata(book_id)

I need to edit one of the columns for these books. I tried the add_custom_book_data(name, val_map, delete_first=False) method in the db class, but I do not know what datatype it wants when it asks for a val_map.

How do I change the value of a column?
