I need some further help, please. I am trying to use the metadata plugboards to rename the title and authors fields on upload. I want to add the series to the beginning ahead of the title to sort on series collections; and append the pubdate to the end of the authors field so that I can sort within author collections by publication date. The collections are being created but the new title and authors fields are not being updated. I am using:
{series:re(([^\s])[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
{authors}{pubdate}

Thoughts?

thanks.
