Hello everyone, I'm trying to do what Starson recommended "add the books, then select all, use Edit Metadata (bulk) and the Search and Replace Feature to copy the ISBN from title into the ISBN field."

I have books with ISBN.pdf as the naming scheme, and they have the ISBN as the title now that I've added them to Calibre.

I went to Edit Metadata in Bulk
Search and Replace tab
but I don't know how to copy the ISBN from the title field into the ISBN field.

Any ideas?
