If I have 2 fields: %album only% and %catalog #%, how to implement pattern for Album field like %album only% [%catalog #%] with convert or action way? Is possible at all?

You want to combine the two separate (custom) tags `%album only%` and `%catalog #%` into one single official tag `%album%` where the catalog # is enclosed by square brackets?

For example:  
`%album only%` contains  
Waterloo  
`%catalog #%` contains  
123456

You want to see ALBUM as  
Waterloo [123456]

You can try Convert Tag -\> Tag  
Field:  
`ALBUM`  
Format string  
`%album only%` `'['%catalog #%']'`

Please be aware that any existing content in ALBUM will be overwritten.

Oh yes, I missed symbol \<'\> outside of square brackets, and was confused for that...  
Thanks for awaring, that's the reason I always have field %album only% with clear album info.  
I will not use it frequently but for especially cases.
