setRawMetadata to table

[ADrobkov]

Hi. I want to write data to table fields, for example, registryId.

From API Reference Lightroom SDK 8.0:

photo:setRawMetadata( key, value )
Sets metadata for this photo.

Parameters

1. key

...

registryId

• : (table) Both a Registry Item ID and a Registry Organization ID to record any registration of this item with a registry. Each element in the table is a table that is a structure named RegistryEntryDetail, as defined in the IPTC Extension spec.

But,

photo:setRawMetadata(("registryId")[1].RegItemId, 1)

not work...

I tried a lot of options, changing the position of brackets, quotes, but did not find any working(

Please tell me how to write data to a certain field in the table and overwrite it if it is already there.

Here's what a valid value for "registryId" looks like:

The value is an array of tables, each such table containing the keys RegItemId and RegOrgId. Here's an example of how to set "registryId":

local value = {{RegItemId = "Item 1", RegOrgId = "Org id 1"}}

photo:setRawMetadata ("registryId", value)
