See the documentation on how to create an action:

> Mp3tag for Mac provides a variety of Actions, which can be used on filenames and tags. The actions can be applied individually via Actions → Quick Actions ⌥⌘ 6 or be grouped into named and reusable Action Groups via Actions → Actions ⌘ 6. Action Groups serve as repeatable workflows in Mp3tag for Mac. When using Quick Actions you can select one of the different available action types from the list. This action will be applied to the selected files and the changes are saved immediately. Tip 1…

I cannot say a lot about the contents of the format string - basically it would be this:

> You would have to use an action of the type "Format tag field" for the target field with the format string that you applied so far for the value of the column.
