Reading that, and rereading the first post, I'm not sure what you want to do. From the first, I thought you were trying to fetch the collections from the device and store them somewhere in calibre. But, the second is to create the collection on the device from calibre. Or are you trying to do both? Basically copy collections from one device to the other.

In any case, the first is done using the Kobo Utilities plugin. The function is "Get Shelves from Device". With this, you select the books to fetch the collections for, or all books and select a custom column in calibre to put the collection names in (the column needs to be a text of tag-like column). Then press enter and it will read the collection from the device and update each book with the names of the collections it is in on the device.

If you want to set the collections on the device from calibre, this is done in the driver, either the built-in KoboTouch driver or the user installed KoboTouchhExtended driver. Which columns are used to set the collections is set in the configuration. How to do this is described in https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...nd_Collections.

If you have been doing the collection management on the device and want to copy them from the old device to the new device, you need to do both of the above in that order. When configuring the driver, you use the column from the first step. When you connect the new device, the collections will be sent to the device.
