It is not clear what you want, because you speak about 'transfer' or 'add' some text from one tag-field to another tag-field.  
Following there are some variations about the theme ...  
"Copy or move text, which is enclosed into round brackets, to another tag-field"

1. Move text from tag-field TITLE from within round brackets including brackets to tag-field COMMENT and delete this text part from the tag-field TITLE.

1.2.  
Action #1  
_Actiontype 7:_ **Import tag fields (guess values)**

Tag-field TITLE remains untouched.
