How would I go about copying the tags for the genre field for new files I import from one that are already there and have a genre value?   There are ongoing series I watch, and archive after, and it would be nice have the established tags already done.  I got help for this before, but it does not seem to be working with tags that have multiple genre values; shows that are both comedy and drama, for example.  This is what I was using.

listitem(fieldquery(filename /(path/), filepath(), Genre,1,1),0)

Is there a way to achieve what I mentioned above, for all genre values?

Thanks.

You can copy and paste tags.  I think it's Ctrl Shift V to paste and you can then choose which tags.

Right.  But that doesn't automate the process like the above does.  I need an expression like that one which works for all genre values automatically.

I think you just need to replace the ListItem() with a ListClean() :

Code: [Select]

ListClean(fieldquery(filename /(path/), filepath(), Genre,1,1),1)
This grabs all Genres from all files that share the same folder with the one being imported and then cleans up to remove duplicates.
