I would suggest checking the Kobo driver configuration to make sure that template is present there. A change to the save template won't affect how books are sent to your Kobo.

I modified the template on my system. I then imported an older book to my Intake library and then sent it from my Intake library and from my Main library. Both copies were found on my ereader with the ID tagged to the end. See attached image. The size difference is since the Intake library copy was not edited. so metadata, cover image, etc. were from factory.

Code:
Ebooks/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)} - {id}
Please note that you will need to resend any books to have this change made. Also the sublist bit just use the first entry in author_sort and author to keep file/path length under control.
