It will be in today's release, marked as experimental. Backup your library before hacking.  |
Cool! How about something similar that fills a field from other fields with {title} or {isbn} references, etc.? It would let you build a copy of a field (say copy all {title} into it or all {isbn}), then run the new experimental S&R on the new field with less risk of destruction. Later you could send the modified field back into the real title. I've occasionally wanted to send tags into comments, or custom text fields into tags, but even text only to text only would have some uses for me.
