I hesitate to jump in here, because you seem to be trying to do things that almost no one understands. That said ...
There is no trigger that will automatically update the title field when you change the series. In fact, the series information probably shouldn't be in the 'real' title field, but that is an argument that I don't want to get in to.
What you should do is create a custom composite field (field made from other fields). Call it mytitle or some such. For the template, use
Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title}
You will have a column showing you the title in the format you want. If you wish, use mytitle in save templates and in plugboards to modify the title in the book when you send it out of the library.
Create as many of these fields as you want. For example, create one for myauthor that puts the series there. Create one that is myeverything that includes series, title, author, isbn, and publication date. Lots of possibilities.
