I am trying to make an on-demand context menu tagger script that sorts multiple values in the %genre% field, as well as purges duplicate values in the %genre% field.

My issue is that the context menu, _Run Scripts_, when clicked from either the _Unclustered Files_ or _Clusters_ node has no effect on the %genre% tag.

My tagger script,

> $sortmulti(%genre%)  
> $unique(%genre%)

Am I doing something wrong?

The reason I want to access this from the _Unclustered Files_/_Clusters_ node is that my files are already tagged with MB metadata, so I do not need to retag them from MB. I basically want to sanitize my %genre% tags with my own existing values.

I think that the problem is that you’re not assigning the returned values to anything. Perhaps try something like:

```auto
$set(genre,$unique($sortmulti(%genre%)))

```
