I think that the example you gave could be dealt with the idea given in this thread: [/t/9138/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/9138/1) Other than this concrete application of trimming I can hardly think of actions that deal with so many fields or have to be limited to a set of fields (e.g. replacing Umlauts and things). The trimming probably does not work on filenames if you have composed the old filename with bits and pieces from now trimmed fields. The additional spaces will probably remain inside the string. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/suggestion-add-an-or-operator-to-fields-input-of-actions/17816)._
