Question: Is it possible to use replace_metadata to copy a portion of one metadata entry to another?

Probably easiest to link my use-case (warning for a few explicits), all consisting of "Story Title" by Author Name.

Rather than using a dozen storyUrl sections, I thought that I could regex a replace_metadata with seriesUrl conditional. I got the title extracted:

Code:

[archiveofourown.org]
add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=>^\"(.*)\" by (.*)$=>\1&&seriesUrl==https://archiveofourown.org/series/1618510

but I'm not sure how to copy title over to author, or if that's possible.
