There is no 100% official way of having series data in the ebook. So Calibre needs a second connection after the ebook has been imported by Kobo. The series column and a subtitle column also has to be configured, just as Collections need configured. I have a Collections column for Kobo and Sony rather than using Tags.
The Device Driver settings has Collections settings on 2nd tab and Enable Series (using Calibre's Series column) on 3rd tab. Mysteriously you don't need to tick Subtitle here.
In Kobo Utilities "Update Metadata" I have Subtitle ticked and Template = {#subtitle}
However that only works with manually selecting title(s) rather than automatic and Selecting Update metadata.
So just now I added that Template to the Device settings, but it only seems to update the subtitle on "Update cached metadata on device" on that icon, whereas the series data gets updated automatically on a second connection.
The Kobo Utilities can use four more custom columns to do with reading status/info/ratings
I only connect to computer on My Books screen,
I never disconnect cable and reconnect till the My Books screen has "flashed" with an update (usually on unread or All)
About 700 bought books (over 11 years) and 6300 PD titles (going back to 2002) plus books I'm proof reading.
Note that Google Drive isn't private, because they scan it for their AI. Also it can mess up filenames.
