"Source Folder" to be used to update a field in AM

Hi,
Is it possible to use the "Source Folder" during media import to update a field for that movie?
Currently, I upload each folder, run Update Fields script and update the source folder details into Source field against that movie. Too painful!
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi,
I meant the of the folder to scan during media import.
For e.g. during media scan, I would point the folder path to G:/01
the preview would list the Media Label, Path upto folder name of movie,etc.
What I want to include is the path given by me above as a field.
Please see screenshot

Hi,
Unfortunately, this value (folder to scan during media import) can not be assigned to a field directly during media import.
You can use the script UpdateField after import to assign the value to a specified field or change the default value of the specified field in preferences before import.
Sorry.
Soulsnake.

Thanks Soulsnake,
I am using UpdateField currently, but it was painful and was looking for an alternative method.
Thanks for the quick replies.
God bless.
