Copy {{tags}} to a field

Anki Desktop
1

Hi,
I am trying to copy the contents of the Tags entry for a note into a field that I have created, and then remove the tags.

The removal part would be OK, as I imagine I’d do that in the browser, selecting all cards first.

I could do this tab-by-tag but am looking for a way to automate it for the entire deck.

I could do this by exporting to excel and then changing then re-importing, but I fear I will lose scheduling data.

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Les

You won’t lose scheduling data if you don’t edit the first fields of the notes. Make a backup of your collection before doing that to be safe.

Thanks abdo, I’ll try it with a few cards.

If I export, modify then import, without changing the first field, I assume that the cards would just be updated, not duplicated.

Is that right?

Thanks,
Les
