I have two AO3 series (not anthologized) with the same title. I'd like to insert the author's name in parentheses at the ends of these two so they don't get mixed together when searching.

Since I don't have series checked as "new only," any manual editing to that column would get overwritten whenever the fics update/I run 'update all' to fix series numbering. If I used replace_metadata matching the title, it'd change both of them.

Is there a way for replace_metadata to differentiate them with the series URL or another way to do this?

EDIT: It might also be possible to differentiate them with the authors. I'll see if I can figure out the syntax.
