Christiaan, thanks so much! That's perfect! Does exactly what I needed! Now I have one more question: Is there a way to trigger the same script for "Booktitle fields?" For incollections that inherit that from a crossref it's obviously changed but I have some incollections that are not crossref'd so there I'd need to update the booktitle field in an extra step.
Thanks a ton!
