Tags and Metadata

[smilingtiger]

I am restructuring my DBs (it seems i am doing that on a regular basis …) i would like to convert some of my tags to metadata, do i have to do it manually or is there another way?
Thanks for your help

You can script that. Did you search the forum? There might be some code floating around

Convert tags to custom text field w smart rule

I’ve imported a lot of data from Paperless to Devonthink - Paperless fields are imported as tags. No I want to create a smart rule converting the tag “amount=51,12 €” (51,12 being the variable) to a custom text field showing “51,12 €” and then delete the tag. But: In the smart rule dialog I cannot scan tags, I can only scan name and text. Is there a way to convert a tag to text, so it can be scanned for strings - without havin to create a script? Thanks
