I've now figured out subtitles on Kobo via Kobo Utilities. I have a subtitle user column called Subtitle (lookup name #subtitle), so the blank box beside subtitle (in Update Metadata dialogue) has
in it. The four other custom columns (Current Reading Location, Percent Read, Rating, Last Read) are defined in Kobo Utilities Options. I've no idea why the custom column (or data made by more complex template) is separate dialogue page.
So the list view on 'My Books' can display Title, Author, Series, and Subtitle, but doesn't show which collections the book is in because there could any number of collections it's in, or none.
I was missing the 'Template' data beside 'Subtitle', which is why it wasn't adding them to the Kobo. I sorted on Subtitle, selected all the ones with an entry and applied 'Update Device Library Metadata' in Kobo Utilities and after the eject process I could see the subtitles on any title with one.
