See the FAQs:

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,\\\\)

$meta_sep(artist,\\)

I doubt that there are really a lot of fields with contents that has to be copied 1:1 to other fields.
The ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST may be the odd one out - but even there it does not always fit.
And so the Format value action is much more flexible.

a glance at the documentation and Howtos is always advisable.
Esp. as the search terms "copy field" would have led you to the HowTos straightaway.

Easier than using a single action of Format Values and defining the source and destination?
