Updating metadata won't change the values within the book format(s) files in the library or on your Kobo, it only updates the calibre database. But after you exit metadata edit the new values should be shown in the book list and in the book details (right sidebar).

There are three ways to update the metadata within the book format files stored in the library - Embed Metadata (most formats), Polish Books (ePub and AZW3(KF8) only) and the Modify optional plugin (ePub only). You'll probably need to add Embed and Polish to a toolbar or menu.

I'm not sure about updating the Kobo metadata, I have no doubt it can be done, but I have no idea how you do it. If no one chimes in here, start a fresh thread the Devices sub-forum and include 'Kobo' in the thread title.
