Ok, then it seems that I somehow incorrectly copied/edited the plugboard. Here is the info of the plug-in configuration and the plugboard:

Plugin KoboTouch
Read metadata from files on device
Use sub directories
Save template:
{author_sort} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title}

column for bookshelves
series, author_sort, #classification

Delete Empty Bookshelves
Create Bookshelves
Upload covers for books
Set Series information

Metadata Plugboard
any format
KOBOTOUCH
Source template
{author_sort:'re(re($, '(.*) & ', '\1 and '), ' & ', ', ')'}
Destination field
author sort
Source template
{authors:'re(re($, '(.*) & ', '\1 and '), ' & ', ', ')'}
Destination field
authors

The first template (author_sort) I tested only as a last resort, but it didn't change a thing.

Result:
The author shown for the book is "Fletcher, Jessica".
The bookshelf is "Bain, Donald & Fletcher, Jessica".

I would be very happy if I set it up incorrectly :-)

Regards, Joe
