Search for:

Then toggle through the following Replace with and Destination field sets:

for:
title: \1 -- #alt_title: \2 -- series: \1 -- series_index: \3 #status: \4


Replace with: \1
Destination field: title

Replace with: \2
Destination field: #alt_title
---------------------------
Replace with: \1
Destination field: series
---------------------------
Replace with: \3
Destination field: series_index
---------------------------
Replace with: \4
Destination field: #status
