</div>

So I want to make an action where everything after the first comma in the _artist's field_ gets added to the _title field_ and the last comma gets tuned to a "&"

For example:

Title: Only  
Artists: Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Drake, Chris Brown

_After the action_

Title: Only (feat. Lil Wayne, Drake & Chris Brown)

</div>

Try an action of the type "Guess value" (import tag fields)  
Source:`$regexp('%title%==%artist%','(.*)==(.*?),(.*)',$1 (feat.$3)==$2)`  
Target format string: `%title%==%artist%`

</div>

In the source, remove the single quotes around %title%==%artist%, like this:  
`$regexp(%title%==%artist%,'(.*)==(.*?),(.*)',$1 (feat.$3)==$2)`

This action works but it removes the names from the artist field.. Like this

Title: Only  
Artists: Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Drake, Chris Brown

_After the action_

Title: Only (feat. Lil Wayne, Drake & Chris Brown)  
Artists: Nicki Minaj

And I still want the last comma to be turned to a '&'

Try an action of the type "Format value" for TITLE  
Format string: `%title% (feat. $regexp($regexp(%artist%,'(.*?), (.*)',$2),'(.*), (.*)',$1 & $2))`
