I shouldn't really speak on behalf of someone else but I can't see davidfor wanting to populate the Series field in the Kobo database with anything other than what's in the calibre Series field.

I think Sirtel has the right idea of using the Kobo Subtitle field to do what you want to do. You could try this...

In your calibre driver 'Metadata tab' check the top 4 boxes and in the 'Subtitle' template text box type this:
Code:
{series:lookup(.,,tags)}
which I believe says, populate Subtitle with
- nothing if there's a Series value
- Tags if there isn't a Series value

In the MyBooks list every book should end up with something in the middle line, either calibre Series value or calibre Tags value
