Would it be possible to make the pattern element for Relative and Absolute filename the same in Create Custom List and Tag from List? As it is, one can't create a list and simply cut-and-paste the template from one to the other.
[Unless I've missed something, which is always possible!]

I'm not sure how I'd do this in a non-confusing way, since one of the tools (the list creator) deals with one filename only, so "old" / "new" would be strange to have in that field, while the other tool deals with two filenames, where calling one of them strictly "Filepath" would also be confusing?

Ah, so that's the catch. I was only thinking of the case where the list is built to hold the useful (V2) tag values while you clean out all the junk, then used to put the tag values back. I sometimes get files with half a dozen (or more) weird tags that I want to ditch, but the clean-up doesn't let me specify those and still keep things like "composer". Perhaps there could be an option in the clean-up tags to remove any non-standard tags? Or even any not-handled-by-m/TS tags? Or all BUT a selected set of tags? Something to let me kill the multiple comments, attached images, etc., while keeping the ones I want?
Actually it wasn't the "old"/"new" that hit my eye, it was the difference between <Target file RP> and <Filepath relative>. Would it be too confusing for a) the Tag form list function to quietly recognize <Filepath relative>, without including it in the advanced right-click options, or b) the Create List function to recognize <Target file RP>, again without including it in the right-click drop-down? Same for "Absolute" and "AP". It would eliminate a step in what is a relatively frequent operation.
