See the attached picture for an example.

I haven't added any new import rules that I recall and I know it didn't do this when my Calibre version was in the 40s (my last version prior to 52). Thoughts? Suggestions?
Calibre is getting the Series from inside the book or from the file name, check the highlighted settings :
