I thought that it would be simple to correct those long series names by doing a bulk metadata edit and just change the series name. That worked however, all the series numbers were set to 1!

Does anyone know an easy way to do this leaving the series numbers intact?

Edit (rename) the series name in the TAG BROWSER.,. That leaves the Series_Index alone

(and it affect All the boos with that name in one place)
