![:huh:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/f15ee73c0fd9ec3b0db7481f0558638f8ee224ce.gif ":huh:")

Actually, neither of them work! Although entering '%artist%' in the ALBUM field either on the left or in the grid translates to 'Beatles' in the grid, this is deceptive. '%artist%' is actually written to the tag! I think Florian will have to decide whether to support all, including the scripting functions, or none in this area.
