Is there any way to make the plugin store series data in the default Calibre series column? This doesn't seem to be an option in the plugin configuration "Store in series column" dropdown.
To transfer a Reading List to the builtin Series column, I'd also install the Series Manager plugin.
Then view the list, select the books, Manage Series, then apply the series name.
I'm having a problem with the Reading List plugin. The problem is that it's not properly populating the custom column based on the books on my Libra 2.
These are screenshots of my 2 lists. Inside the spoiler is the debug log.
One odd thing Ive noticed. I have 477 eBooks on my Libra 2. But the Libra 2 list shows only 414. I can add/remove books and the Libra 2 list shows 414 regardless.

Is #onlibra a boolean column and have you 'yes/no columns have three values' enabled? I don't use autopopulated lists so can't comment on that factor, but I have had strange behaviour when tristate booleans are enabled.
As a workaround, I have Reading List fill an enumerated 'Kobo status' column and then have a composite psuedobool column that checks that.

The #onlibra column is a Yes/No column.
The problem as I see it is that the list is staying static. The #onlibra column is correctly set to Y for the 414 eBooks Reading List thinks is on my Libra 2.
The problem (as I see it) is that the Libra 2 list is not ever changing. It's stuck.
I set the Libra 2 list to manually populate and then I remove the contents of the list. The Y/N column was correctly emptied. But the problem now is how to automatically populate the list so the column can be updated.
Is this a bug in Reading List or am I not doing something so the list populates?
I also went had to 1.14.0 and it still does not work. I cannot go back any further as that's the earliest version available.
Is there any way to get older versions to find out where this broke (unless it broke in calibre)?
I'd suspect it having to do with it being an auto-pop list, considering that some other settings also disabled on that. Does it work for non-boolean columns, at least?

It used to work as is because it was populated. I've managed to remove everything from the list but I cannot get it to populate again.
I'm going y calibre 6 portable and see if it works.
I've downloaded the last calibre 6 portable. I'll try it later when I have the time.
In your case I suspect the device UUID changed, which can happen if the device is reset or if you deleted the file .driveinfo.calibre (somehow).
To fix:
Connect to your kobo.
In Reading List in the device tab, remove the existing device (Kobo ...)
Add the currently connected device.
Fix the device in any list where it is used because the device box would have been emptied when you deleted the device.
Try "Sync now" in Reading list. The columns should sync.
If you run in debug mode you should see lines like this:
Code:
READING LIST: Sync Now - force_sync= True
READING LIST: Device found to sync to: Folder Device d0a38af5-7f67-4880-bf0d-a2503bcd785f

Thank you for bringing this to me atention. I have the same configuration and I've seen list was not updated for the last books. In my case, I've remembered I had to format the device and, checking the list, I've seen it was not associated to my Clara 2E. After associating it, the next time I've connected the ereader, the list has been updated.

Thank you. The screen shot helped.
The problem was the device was not selected. But it's odd that it deselected when I did not do so.
Do we have any idea when this may have happened as Terisa also had the problem?

@Terisa de morgan reformatted the device, which would erase metadata.calibre and therefore change the device UUID, exactly the scenario I suggested.
I strongly suspect your problem arose because of something you did, not caused by a calibre or Reading list problem. Perhaps you deleted (somehow) the metadata.calibre file, perhaps you altered somehow the plugin's json configuration file, or perhaps the plugin altered it itself for some reason. No way for me to know how, or when ...

There has been no problem with the device ID as adding books to it has not stopped working. Doesn't really matter then it was changed. I'm just glad it's working. Thank you.
