Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has used the Tag from list feature.  Here's my problem...I haven't found a way to leave out fields that are sometimes blank and sometimes in use.  I was thinking of an If/Then type of thing.  For example:

Song one has one composer, song two has three composers and song three has two composers.  how do you get it to enter the information correctly.  here's what it looks like in the list file:

Composer1,ASCAP,,,,
Composer1,ASCAP,Composer2,ASCAP,Composer3,BMI
Composer1,ASCAP,Composer2,ASCAP,,

The template string I'm using looks like this:

<V2_TCOM-1[|(]>,<V2_TCOM-2[|),]>,<V2_TCOM-3[|(]>,<V2_TCOM-4[|),]>,<V2_TCOM-5[|(]>,<V2_TCOM-6[|)]>

So the end result in the tag looks like this:

Composer1(ASCAP),(),()
Composer1(ASCAP),Composer2(ASCAP),Composer3(BMI)
Composer1(ASCAP),Composer2(ASCAP),()

How can I make it look like this?:

Composer1(ASCAP)
Composer1(ASCAP),Composer2(ASCAP),Composer3(BMI)
Composer1(ASCAP),Composer2(ASCAP)

Anyone? Thanks.

(I disabled the emoticons in your post above to make the template example look ok. Please note that you can edit your own posted messages instead of re-posting a corrected copy)

There is currently no way of doing what you're asking for. The main reason is that such IF/THEN conditions would make the templates quite messy (as if the example above isn't enough to scare most people away from even trying to use it in the first place ;)).

My advice is to separate all entries that have 1 composer, 2 composers, 3 composers and so on, into different lists, and then import these lists with different templates. Hopefully it will not be to much of an extra burden.

I might also make the template capabilities even more advanced in a future update.
