Clicked okay and apply.

What happens next? Does this automatically calculate the number of pages and words of my sideloaded books on my device when i connect my kobo to calibre? Will my sideloaded books now contain words in View Details of my device?
As long as the #words and #pages columns are populated in Calibre (use the Count Pages plugin for this) and you have metadata management set to automatic, the next time you connect the device to Calibre it'll sync to device and appear on the details page.

It works now. The changes have been in source for a while and I've been using them.
