Problem with $unset function

I am using this script to preserve the content of some tags and it always works fine
$foreach(%keep%,$unset(%_loop_value%))

I was creating another script but I noticed that if I try to copy one of the values contained in keep, it does not copy anything.
Eg: %keep% contains engineer → $setmulti(newtag,%engineer%) it creates nothing

Does this mean that the $unset function does not allow you to copy the content of that tag into another?

is there an alternative way to do this?

If you use $unset(engineer) the engineer tag does not exist anymore, it will be empty.

If you want to actually keep the original value of a tag and have this value available in scripting use the “Preserve these tags…” option in Options Metadata

ok, but the “preserve these tags” option is global and it is not useful to me for specific tags of specific recordings. This is why I use the $foreach function.
