I tried out a few things on my own here, still not sure how to correct my problem.
Again I am new at this all so it is all trial and error for me. So that being said I decided to troubleshoot a few things to eliminate some variables.
Firstly, I took my books and converted them into MOBI instead of the AZW3 format I was using. Sent the books over to my kindle ran the "create collections from the kindle collection plugin" Went to my kindle and did the import collections from calibre..
It created the collections AND auto-populated the collections with the books.
Secondly, went back and reconverted the books to AZW3 followed the same steps as above (note: I did remove the mobi books and collections first) and ended up with the original problem.. 2 collections created - with no books inside.
****As a side note, not sure if it has anything to do with it or not but just to eliminate it as an issue I also reset my metadata template modifications of {author_sort:re(\, ,_)} {series:|(|)} Destination Field (Authors) and {#stripped_series:lookup(.\s,#initials,.,#shortene d,series)} {series_index:|[|]} {title} Destination Field (Title) to the default settings. Restarted both calibre and the kindle****
Outcome Results. Using the MOBI format auto-populated the collections whereas the AZW3 did not using the same books.
Once again thanks for any help.
