I tried the following.  
new action---remove fields"Album Artist;Genre;Composer;Comment"

all field entries except album artist was removed. what happened with the first field? did i make a mistake?

yes it works when album artist is entered without a space. it should be entered as albumartist. then only it will work. thanks once again to Johnson for the suggestion.
