This is what the documentation says:  
_ **Value** _ is required and denotes the content displayed in this column. It usually contains a [placeholder](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/format-strings-and-available-placeholders/51688), sometimes combined with [scripting functions](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/scripting-functions/51689).

A simple example would be `%ISRC%`, the placeholder for the `ISRC` tag field. Another example would be `$metasep(artist,\\)`, a format string that displays all existing `ARTIST` fields separated by Mp3tag multi-field separator `\\`

_ **Field** _ usually contains a placeholder that is used for editing the content of the field through the File List. Please note that if this field is empty, the column is write-protected. You can only use placeholders for tag fields (e.g. `%ISRC%`) as well as `%_filename_ext%` and `%_filename%` here.  
Where do you have problems?

The field is called POPULARIMETER not RATING if that is what confused you.
