setLeftMetricsKey_ setRightMetricsKey_ Not Working?

Scripting
1 
Glyphs.clearLog() # clears macro window log
thisFont = Glyphs.font # frontmost font
listOfSelectedLayers = [ l for l in thisFont.selectedLayers if hasattr(l.parent, 'name')]

for thisLayer in listOfSelectedLayers:
	thisGlyph.setLeftMetricsKey_("H")
	print thisGlyph.leftMetricsKey

Returns H as the left metrics key but nothing changes in the UI or data…?

You are looping with thisLayer, but setting and getting thisGlyph’s metrics keys.
