Hello. Is there an easier way than copy and pasting to make the Album Artist the same as Artist?

Yes. You can use the menu Convert Tag-Tag (ALT + 5) with something like

You can see if this works before you press OK if you see the expected result text between the Format string `%ARTIST%` and the Preview-Button ("Amir" in my example).

If you prefer an Action, you can follow this FAQ entry:

> 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](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) 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](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting) can be used in the format string, e.g., $meta\_sep(artist,\\\\)
