Version: Calibre 0.8.53

I'm using a metadata plugboard to add series information to my titles -- ie,
Lincoln Rhyme [1] - The Bone Collector

I then email these files to my 3 devices (2 kindles, 1 ipad). However, because the title changed, it does not recognize that they are the same title. This is causing other problems -- for example, the Kindle Collection plug-in is failing to create collections because it doesn't pull the series information since it doesn't realize they're the same books.

i found an old thread that is sort of related to my issue
(https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=128976) but... it wasn't much help.

Any ideas? Is this happening because I'm emailing vs. using a USB connection? Is there any way around this? Email is definitely the way I need to do this; my kindles travel around with family members.
