Cant get Plugboards to list the Series numbers in the title of my kindel2
Hello,

I'm having real trouble getting my Series number metadata to show up in the title when using the Plugboard.

I'm on Windows 10 using a Kindel2, I go to the Plugboards and set it as mobi and KINDLE2 with the string:

Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
But when I send books to the Kindel I get no Series number, and the Plugboard doesn't seem to have an existing plugboard to edit. Am I missing a key step?

Please help!

Please (!) don't post such huge images. They are impossible to see around and they violate forum guidelines. The yellow background doesn't help either.

Looking at the screenshots, you need to scroll down a bit in the preferences dialog. Or make the dialog larger. There should be buttons "Save plugboard" and "Delete plugboard" under the "Source template" column of fields. You need to press the "Save plugboard" button to actually create the template before pressing the "Apply" button. I have no idea how many times I have missed doing that.
