Automatically copy Artist and Album Artist

[ohrenkino]

Even though an old thread, it is still the way to do it:

Actions and batch-operations

How to copy one field value to another field? Example how to copy the content of the ARTIST field to the ALBUMARTIST field: Create a new action in an existing action group or make a new action group. Action type: Format value Field: ALBUMARTIST Format string: %artist% Note: If you want to copy all possible values of a field (in case you have multiple artist fields), the internal scripting function $meta_sep can be used in the format string, e.g., $meta_sep(artist,\\\\)

It does not happen automatically, though, you have to trigger the action. But then it will work for all selected files, even if the ARTIST is different.
