Genre, Pages, Year as subtitle - KoboTouchExtended

Hi guys, thanks to all of you for your amazing work on mobileread.com!
Sorry, if this is the wrong forum, this is my first posting...
My problem: I added some additional information (genre, number of pages and the year of publishing) as a subtitle to the ebooks on my Kobo Glo HD (Firmware 4.24.15676) see (Fig.1). In Calibre (5.14 64bit) I created custom columns #genre, #seiten and #year. I'm using the KoboTouchExtended-Driver (3.4.4) to send the books from Calibre to the device, I select "subtitle" and enter the code {#genre} - {#seiten} Seiten {#year:| (|)} see (Fig.2)
When the ebooks have been sent to the device, the subtitles are missing (screenshot in Fig.1a). I need to plug it off, then plug in again, then open Kobo Utilities -> "Update metadata in device library" -> then select "subtitle" and "Use Plugboard" and put that code there (Fig.2b). When plugging the device off, the subtitles are there (Fig.1b).
Is there a way to achieve the desired result by sending the ebook via Kobo-driver only and skip step two (sending metadata via Kobo Utilities)?
I tried the metadata-plugboard, but there is no destination "subtitle"...
Thanks in advance!
