I am trying to format %ARTIST%, %TITLE%, %MIXARTIST% & %TITLE% based on the %ARTIST% tag and portions of the %TITLE% tag.
Artist: Ariana Grande
Title: Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea) [Dawin Remix]

Expected Results
Artist: Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea
Title: Problem {Dawin Remix}
MixArtist: Dawin
Subtitle: Remix

Import Tag Fields
Field: TITLE
Format: %title% (feat. %featartist%)

Format Tag Field
Field: ARTIST
Format: %artist% feat. %featartist%

Format Tag Field
Field: MIXARTIST
Format: $regexp(%title%,.*\((.*) .+\),$1)

Format Tag Field
Field: SUBTITLE
Format: $regexp(%title%,.*\(.* (.+)\),$1)

Format Tag Field
Field: TITLE
Format: %title% {%MIXARTIST% %subtitle%}

Remove Fields

Apologies, I'm using the macOS version.

Import Tag Fields > Guess Values
Format Tag Field > Format Value

Hey @djdizzle , it looks like you're using the Mac version of Mp3tag and your question is related to Mp3tag for Mac. Can you use the Mac category for posting those questions, so that people are not confused by terms and labels they might not be familiar with?

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for clarification, I'm moving this topic to Mac

This should do the trick:

Import Tag Fields
Source Format: %title%
Formatstring: %title% (feat. %featartist%) [%mixartist%]

Format Tag Field
Field: ARTIST
Format: %artist% feat. %featartist%

Format Tag Field
Field: TITLE
Format: %title% {%mixartist%}

Import Tag Fields
Source Format: %mixartist%
Formatstring: %mixartist% %subtitle%

I can't see any reference to splitting the %mixartist% and %subtitle% fields from the %title%. Which the below were doing.

Format Tag Field
Field: MIXARTIST
Format: $regexp(%title%,.*\((.*) .+\),$1)

Format Tag Field
Field: SUBTITLE
Format: $regexp(%title%,.*\(.* (.+)\),$1)

It's done in actions #1 and #4.

Action #1 adjusts 3 tag fields at once: everything in front of the opening parentheses ( is kept in field TITLE), everything between (feat.) and the closing parentheses is moved to field FEATARTIST) and everything from within the square brackets [...] is moved to field MIXARTIST.

The contents of field MIXARTIST are reused in action #3 (you wanted to have both Dawin and Remix in the TITLE field.

Finally, in action #4, field MIXARTIST is split into MIXARTIST and SUBTITLE. Splitting is performed in action Import Tag Field by using the same placeholder in both Source format and Formatstring (also, see documentation),

This is possible by splitting the combined temporary field MIXARTIST into the final MIXARTIST and SUBTITLE by use of two actions Format Tag Field with regular expressions.

Import Tag Fields
Source Format: %title%
Formatstring: %title% (feat. %featartist%) [%mixartist%]

Format Tag Field
Field: ARTIST
Format: %artist% feat. %featartist%

Format Tag Field
Field: TITLE
Format: %title% {%mixartist%}

Format Tag Field
Field: SUBTITLE
Format: $regexp(%mixartist%,.* (.+),$1)

Format Tag Field
Field: MIXARTIST
Format: $regexp(%mixartist%,(.+) .*,$1)
