Hi Florian, I tried to send e-mail twice, but it bounced - twice:  
_Hi Hein,_

_many thanks for your message. I've tried to reproduce the issue and_

_1. selected one file from the File List_  
_2. pasted something to two fields listed the Tag Panel without saving_  
_3. added a cover via right-click on the cover window_  
_4. saved the changes via Ctrl+S_

_As a result, the pasted information and the cover art are correctly saved. I'm sure your process might be different, please let me know in which way, so that I can reproduce the issue._

I have managed to do a video [user fields clear](https://mega.nz/file/vtwiiAra#rBuYkhTgruBdt64LSxKM2qvpjMy2Fii-2_ivFBn0myA) of the process when adding a cover image, causing the user field to clear. This only happens when selecting multiple tracks. When doing on track at a time, it works fine.

You have configured your user-defined field "Played1" as **blank** (Default value), if there is different content in that field.

You have to set configure it to **keep**.
