i have a few different custom fields, that are copies of other (custom and not) fields.  while i was learning things i went and created a bunch of library fields LOL

but now that i have things working, i want to delete a bunch of the "test" fields, and rename some other ones to make more sense. 

is there a way to copy a field, then erase the original field?  for example, i use a smartlist to calculate average bitrate.  i then made a field that calculates from that, to give me a text value (i.e. CD Rip, High Res, etc.).  BUT...i want to move that calculated data to another field (that is purely a string value, not a calculated value)

if i say [album format (new field)]=[formattest (old field)] &datatype=[string], the fields copy over just fine, of course.  but now i want to erase [formattest] completely...but my new field depends on it!

is there an easy way to get around this?

thanks

thanks, working good so far.  it's weird when it's so much easier than i convince myself it should be...i've never used that tool before in all these years.
