Normal topicDifferent years in the same album

I write the an action for move the files. The folder name is “[B - S] (YYYY) - Album”.

If different years in the same album, I will got multi directories in one album.

Is it possible when different years in the same album, use one year (smallest or largest)？

Here's sample code to use the largest. Largest is better as the smallest may be empty.

Build List with delimiter "⏎" in named variable 'Years' from field Year (As found) string delimiter "\~"
Find the maximum of the list in named variable 'Years' with delimiter "⏎" rounding (truncate). Result to named variable 'Max Year'
Set Variable 15 to "\<Max Year>"

The first statement is a Build List statement. The second statement is a List Numeric Functions statement.

Wherever you currently use the Year field, use Variable 15 instead.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

What function name of find the max of the list?

If multiple albums are processed at the same time，Max of all of album or max of each album.

The function I used is called List Numeric Functions

The code I supplied will not work with multiple albums selected. I've uploaded an action which when called sets Variable 15 to the max year in a track's containing album. It even handles tracks with a missing Album field. No other track variables are modified. Simply call: Max Year Per Album to Variable 15 after importing the action at:
