The option to populate metadata from a directory does not consider the root folder under which you are importing - it applies to the folders under the selected folder. So in your example, you would need to import the folder containing the "French Trad" folder, not the "French Trad" folder itself.

The folders imported are under the folder I selected. The "French Trad" folder has no parent; it is top-level.

When I select %CUSTOM% or %SOURCE_TYPE%, it did work. It seems when I select %CUSTOM_GROUP% that the field "Dance Type" (renamed from %CUSTOM_GROUP%) remains blank. %SOURCE_TYPE% worked, so that is what I will use for now.
