Firstly, thanks to Drakinite for
Copy and Swap Fields.
Back in the MM4 days, I would copy a track's Added date to Custom1 so that if I ever had to reload the library, I could copy Custom1 -> Added and my smart playlists would still work correctly. In MM5 I'd like to do the copy back so I thought I'd just modify drakinite's script for my own usage. I added
dateAdded to the supported fields but it wasn't that simple
I can't get the
dateAdded to copy to a custom field or replace it's value with a custom field.
It seems obvious that the
dateAdded is treated differently than the other fields. So can someone direct me to some documentation on how and why it's different? I'd like to modify the software as a learning experience.
Thanks.
