4. Series will be listed name and series number
5. Make sure the rating field is blank
6. Make sure the comment field is blank
7. strip blanks that appear in names or titles as _


Sorry I am not a programmer and the help functions were not at my level of understanding so I do not know what syntax to use.
The best way to do this is with the Action Chains plugin. You would set up an action for each test/modification you wish, put them in a chain, then run that chain when a book is added to calibre.

Ask for help in that plugin's thread.
