Metadata plugboard no longer working for series on converted books

I have a metadata plugboard set up to do two things:
  1. Add the series title and number to a title.
  2. Add a fandom name to fanfic if the custom column "fanfic" has info.

It looks like this:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title}
{#fandom:||: }{title}

When I purchase a book from Amazon, I convert it from AZW3 to MOBI, which removes the DRM, then send it to the Kindle. The plugboard no longer updates the titles of those files. Files that were not purchased from Amazon update correctly.

I don't think I've changed anything that should create a problem. It's possible the issue started with a Calibre version upgrade, though I have no idea. I have updated to the most current version.

I've been through previous threads to try and troubleshoot with no luck. The format is MOBI, and all of my files are MOBI. The device is KINDLE2, and the device currently connected is KINDLE2. I tried converting a file back to AZW3 and adding that to the device: no luck. I tried removing it entirely from Calibre, downloading it from Amazon again, and converting it to MOBI again: no luck.

Any help is much appreciated.
