The information is still present in each item's metadata, generated with Kobo Utilities.
As far as I know, the only way to create the information for collections is through the 2nd tab in KoboTouch since KoboTouch extended disappeared.
So I selected the first "collections" line and the first subline "colonne collections" inserting {tags:} in the available field. I didn't select the following 2 sublines "modèle de collections" and "créer des collections".

I tried a couple of times and it didn't work. Can somebody help?
  • You need to check "Create collections". You should restart calibre after changing this, just in case.
  • You need to ensure Metadata Management is set to automatic (Preferences / Sending books to device)
  • The template should be {tags} not {tags:}. The second works, but only by accident.
