No option is ticked. Not working at all regardless of file format. Are you sure it creates TXXX/Guest Artist field with the value when copied to the field?

Sorry, probably I misunderstood you. Are copying *to* or *from* Artists (Guest) tag? 1st option is not tested at all.

This is my first time trying a sub-artist field. A little surprising to hear no one has ever used this plugin for tagging those fields. Yes, I'm trying to copy to the field, not from.

I think its not supported by MB, but I could create ASR preset to copy any tag to guest artists.

Could you also create a new preset that removes all duplicate entries from a multi-value field like genre and artist?
That'd be useful for various cases including the request in this thread: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12441.0
Would be great if the preset could remove multiple kinds of duplicate entries at once regardless of their places (consecutive or not).

See new ASR preset 'Copy guest artists from <Tag 1>'

Working great! Thanks!

- There's a typo in the preset name
- How about using MB default delimiter "; " instead of ","?
- Can you show in the dialog just guest artist tag values? Currently it shows them along with artist values that could be confusing.

That's fixed for the net update

This would require rewriting the entire ASR command. Don't want to do this.

Thanks! It works, but with some limitations.

- For genre tag, it removes one duplicate entry at a time. So for the given string "Funk; Funk; Funk; Pop; Pop", it needs to be applied 4 times to make it "Funk; Pop".
- For some reason, artist tag doesn't show a semicolon between multiple artists on the plugin dialog. Because of this, I can't make the preset work for artist field.

Its a known limitation, but I'm afraid I can't avoid it.

How about naming ASR preset xml files with their preset title, if that doesn't affect any functionality? That would make it a lot easier to handle those files along with custom preset files in AppData folder. Currently I have to open each file with notepad to figure out what preset it is.

Initial idea was to abstract from preset names because every preset can have several localized names (usually only Russian and English, but there may be German, French and Polish names also). Its too hard to change this now.
