If I could go into the Amazon plugin and select title/author and the Goodreads plugin to only select the series.
The main edit metadata field that mass selects the fields can be filled in but the plugins themselves could be edited to download only the fields i want from each one. This would allow all the plugins to get the fields but only selected fields will be chosen from each plugin (i hope this makes sense).
They can fetch the data but I only want specific fields filled in by specific plugins.

Ahhh now I understand what you mean. Actually Goodreads does let you control whether the series is downloaded, but not the title/authors. And I'm almost certain (without checking the code) that is for the simple reason that the calibre code requires the plugins to pass title/authors back in order for it's merging algorithm to work (and to present the results to the user).
I could be wrong as not looked at the calibre code but I suspect it would require a significant calibre metadata API change to support what you want. Or it could simply be the case that I could just add title/author to the set of configurable fields and it just works - would have to experiment...
