The column is generated fine in calibre showing "Lansem, Stephanie - The Living Water" when using the kindle_collection recipe just changing the names from kindle to kobo, but when the books are transfered to the kobo there are no collections created just the books transferred.

I have put "kobo_collections" in the kobo touch driver and it didn't work, I also tried just using the kindle_collection, with the same results. I also tried disabling the kobo touch driver and installing the kobo touch extended and entering the same information. Nada!

Including all the restarts and all that for both the kobo and calibre. Also just a side note when I look at the device (library) via calibre the collection field is empty.
I have just tested the above column definition and it is working correctly.

The two easy possibilities are that you missed the "#" when for the column name in the driver configuration. They should be specified as "#kobo_collections" or "#kindle_collections". The other is that "Metadata management" has to be set to automatic for collection management to happen. This is on the "Sending books to device" page of the preferences.

If those are correct, then something else is happening. I would need to see a debug log to get an idea of what is happening.
