The plugboard used is {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - }{title}.
The Calibre series column field associated to the prequel title shows 'series [0]', and does not accept any edit to make it read like 'series [00]'.
What am I doing wrong?
Maybe the plugboard needs some editing?  |
series_name[0] in the calibre bookshelf is correct
In this view, they are (real) Numbers
In your template they are
Digit Characters That is what the 0>2s causes to be padded to 2 digits
I wonder if the [ are causing problems
try and substitute a non-special character
