Hi,
I need to check if my files have the year tagged by TDRC or TYER. How would I do this? Thanks!
I couldn't figure out how to set a filter

A preliminary search indicates that this may not be possible at the moment:

Is there any difference in the year values on either tag version? A difference that can be picked out by an $IsMatch() function or similar?

Thanks for getting back. No the values are the same, i.e. YYYY. Howeber, I think TDRC or TDRL would be capable of storing more information.
I had not been aware of the existence of TDRC or TDRL so I just want to check if I have files with these tags at all. I do my tagging with Musicbee, MP3tag and EAC.

According to this reply, filtering based on tag version is possible through external programs:

Also, according to the recent forum tag-mapping guide:
Files using the ID3v2.3 tag version will have the <year> mapped to TYER.

Tag versions and all that technical side of things is a new concept to me. I only know the bits I come across here.
