If the 'Reading Goal' has a menu option to add the series, you can choose that from Calibre Actions.

If the 'Reading Goal' has no such option, you will have to make the Action Chains select all the books in the series. You can do this by adding the following template to "Search Using Templates" action:

program:
	initial_ids = from_selection('id');
	set_globals(initial_ids=initial_ids);
	all_series_ids = '';
	for book_id in initial_ids:
		series = book_field(book_id, 'series');
		series_ids = from_search('id', 'series:"=' & series & '"');
		all_series_ids = list_union(all_series_ids, series_ids, ',')
	rof;
	all_series_ids

Note: In the "Search Using Templates" action, make sure to tick the option: "Template output is a list of book ids"

If you want to revert to the original selections after adding all the books in the series, you can use another "Search Using Templates" action with the following template:

program:
    globals(initial_ids)

Note: In the "Search Using Templates" action, make sure to tick the option: "Template output is a list of book ids"
