I wish to also use this value in the front cover, which I assume is possible because there's a Metadata section when inserting Fields:

 

However, outputting it results in an empty value in the output:

 

Note: title gets passed to document properties, author did not:

 

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    I'm not aware of any way to do that. I suggest for this one you need to go to Adobe Support. See https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options. The email link tcssup@adobe.com is recommended as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including RoboHelp.
