Import (add books) template?
You have a bigger problem

You can't import a series index without a series Name (also) preexisting

You need to use a file renamer to insert the series name before import as Calibre can not use path info.


You could use the Manage Series PI to help do in bulk,
(this is a per-series task)

THEN use Bulk metadata edit to finish the cleanup of the Title (remove the number)
