Originally created by @Armelline on GitHub (Jan 7, 2026).

What happened?

These are considered different series when displaying series pulled from the Grouping tag of files:

Example series
Example Series

However, if you try add the other from within the UI you'll be told you cannot have two series of the same name.

I clearly messed up a little with what I put in the grouping tag and when ABS pulled the series from it it separated based on things like "Age of" and "Age Of".

As far as I can tell, this only applies to series created by pulling the metadata from the Grouping tag. If series are manually added using the UI, "Example series" and "Example Series" are standardised to whichever is added first.

What did you expect to happen?

Minor in the grand scheme of things but would make sense to either have both series merge when displayed or have them treated as completely separate everywhere.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add the series name "Series Name" to the grouping tag of a book.
  2. Add the series name "Series name" to the grouping tag of another book.
  3. Have ABS scan the files using book metadata as scanner target.
  4. Observe two distinct series are created in ABS.

Despite searching I managed to fail to see this existing issue that is essentially the same one. I'd just add to it that it's true of series populated via Grouping tag too.
