Hello Thanks for answering. As I sayd my skills are very basic. First of all, is not the "ALBUMARTISTSORT" data that i want to copy to other metadata field, is "ALBUMARTIST" but this is not really important. After reading your message I do not really understand what I have to do. I suppose I have to do a "Convert Tag - Tag". Then on "Field" I write down the destination metadata field , where I want the data to be copyed, in my example "CONTENTGROUP" or "MIXARTIST". & at "Format String" I select the metadata field from where I want to copy the data, "ALBUMARTIST". This successfullly copy my data from one metadata field to another. But this is just half of what I want to do. I don't know how to split the data at the same time I copy the data from one metafield to another one. Here talks about "Split tag field" [Quick Actions and Action Groups](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/quick-actions-and-action-groups/51882) but I do not see this "Split tag field" anywhere. I alternatively can do a kind of "erase data action from a metafield with specific format": delete all data from "[vs." until "]", but I don't know where to find this feature too. \*If by "Try an action of the type "Import tag fields"" you do not mean "Convert Tag - Tag" but another feature, can you please tell me where to find it? Thank you so much. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/transfer-partial-deletion-of-metadata/63236)._
