I did it using the following steps:

Create an empty book with an EPUB format. I set the title, authors, and series correctly
Edit metadata to set tags and a cover.
Before download metadata I see the following, no cover, no tags, no comments.

After download metadata I see
Do and EPUB-to-EPUB conversion, which embeds the metadata and cover.
Use calibre's viewer to look at the book. I see the cover.
Use calibre's viewer to look at the book's metadata.

I didn't try using "Polish" instead of the EPUB-to-EPUB conversion.
