Help with inline "item_fields" and getting them to run

[nicoleproc]

Hi! Very much a newbie/inexperienced...but I'm trying to pull anything in parenthesis out of the title name and copy it over to a "remixer" field. Please help! :) I have spent way too long trying to figure this out!

When I run this in python, it comes back with the correct information:

import re
...
... # Test case
... title = "Under Pressure feat. Queen (Disco Pirate's Remix)"
...
... # Regex to extract the remixer
... match = re.search(r'((.*?)\s+Remix)', title, re.IGNORECASE)
... if match:
... print("Remixer:", match.group(1)) # Expected Output: "Disco Pirate"
... else:
... print("No match found")
...
Remixer: Disco Pirate's

But when I run this, it comes back empty -
beet ls -f '$title - $remixer'
Under Pressure feat. Queen (Disco Pirate's Remix) -
