It may take some time to show up properly.

I don't think that this is a series by Goodreads definition.

Being a series on other sites, including Amazon, doesn't mean it is a series here. It's difficult to determine for many nonfiction books whether it matches Goodreads' definition. This one is probably a gray area so I'll just leave it.

For your reference from the manual:
Imprints and other unrelated collections of works (usually by multiple authors) are not series. They can be grouped with a Listopia list, or the collection/imprint information can be listed in the edition field, but they should not be grouped into a series, or listed on a book's title line.

As a general rule, a book is only part of a series if that designation would apply to all editions of a work. To be a series, books should have characters and/or universes in common. In the case of imprints and other non-series collections, it is common for some of these books to be published under numerous other imprints as well.
