> I'm trying to create an action that takes the 1st value from ARTIST and populates the ALBUMARTIST field. Right now I have: Format Value Field: ALBUMARTIST Format String: $meta(artist,0) Using this, I'm still getting every value from ARTIST. I also noticed that $meta() isn't in the list of functions in the Actions dialog. Any ideas?
