> How to append the string " xyz" to the content of a tag field? Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group and choose Format value as action type. Field specifies the tag field the formatting rule should be applied to. Format string must have the field placeholder for the field selected above and the string which should be appended. Example: If you want to append the string " xyz" to the current value of the comment field: Action type: Format value Field: COMMENT Format string: %com…

In this case the field/property would be \_DIRECTORY

You can see the result in a preview if you use  
Convert\>Tag-Tag for \_DIRECTORY  
Format string: %origyear% - %\_directory%
