I think this is the main point. Presumably if you select books in different series then there is no simple way for Calibre to display all the different series in the one field, so it is displayed blank, although there are in fact underlying values. It sort of makes sense to me. Once you type into the field you have set a modified flag, so whatever you then enter into the field will become the saved value.
