Having a bit of a blond time here:
I want to the TITLE tag from Qobuz downloads into WORK and PART tag.
The way the TITLE is formated is:
ie:
Cantata XYZ:Choral
Cantata XYZ:Aria1
etc...
Anything before ":" should move into WORK tag, anything that follows ":" should go into PART.
Should be really easy but I fail.... Thanks for any hints.

Have a look at the [documentation about actions for the Mac](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/quick-actions-and-action-groups/51882):
I would use an action of the type "Import tag fields"
Source: `%title%`
Target: `%work%:%part%`
