Adding multiple values to field in action

[asamirid]

Hello everyone, please help with this,

i found here in the community someone created this action,

Format value
Field: TITLE ARTIST ALBUM
Format string: $meta_sep(composer,/)

this means i can create an action with multiple values on the input field,

how can i translate it into action, what should i type in the field highlighted in the picture below

what should i type or select and how it will looks like ??

i tried some guessing but non worked well

Where exactly did you found this?

IMHO, it is not possible to use multiple fields like this in an action of the type "Format value".
You can only use special field names, like _ALL or _TAG (as you already know) to apply your adjustments to multiple fields at once.

@asamirid

that it's not possible to make this as an action

It is possible. But

@asamirid

Format value
Field: TITLE ARTIST ALBUM
Format string: $meta_sep(composer,/)

will produce a single user-defined field %TITLE ARTIST ALBUM% with the contents of that what can be found in all the fields of the type COMPOSER, separated by a slash.
It would be helpful if you could explain what you want to achieve.

If I have to guess: the action does not distribute / copy the contents of COMPOSER to the field TITLE, ARTIST and ALBUM.
And even if it would do that - this would mean that you overwrite the existing contents of the 3 fields with that from COMPOSER. I don't know if that is your intention.

what i want is not the composer example above, it what was mentioned in some community post, not my example

what i wanna do is to modify all the three fields at once, the fields is TITLE, ARTIST and ALBUM

here is what i imagined it's possible

or

where TITLE ARTIST ALBUM will affect the actual fields not creating useless user-defined field

See this thread on a way how to apply a search/replace on several fields:

Using TAG in actions/combining actions for different tags

I get the impression that using TAG is a shortcut in actions to updating many tags at the same time. Is there a way to add exclusions so that certain tags are not affected without going down the route of specifying every tag you do want to affect? For example, if I want to use capitalisation on every tag except artist because the case of the artist is originally correct and any manipulation would cause their name to be incorrect, can this be done? I want to try and avoid situations like this e…

Please note that it is important to get a unique separator between the field vairables. This may be tricky as you want to get rid of more or less any ordinary punctuation character.
