Hi all,

I've been trying to get the title field of a book also say the series and number in that series by using the metadata plugboard. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work at all.

Currently I've set it to:
Format: any format
Device: any device
Source template: some text
Destination field: title

As far as I understand this should change the title to "some text". I've tried before with {title} {series} and things like that, but since I couldn't get that to work I figured I'd make it as easy as possible. Alas, still no success.

I have set calibre to automatically manage metadata and I can see that part is working as it is creating shelves automagically. Both the kobo touch (2.5.2) and calibre (0.9.39) have been updated in the last week so I should have the latest versions.

There's probably an option or preference I've missed somewhere but google can't help me. If anyone has an idea it'd be much appreciated!
