Copy values from one XMP tag to another XMP tag

I have a lot of images (JPG) with some metadata. I'm interested in these three tags, for example, from one of the images:

[XMP] FlightPitchDegree : 0.734793
[XMP] FlightRollDegree : -1.024403
[XMP] FlightYawDegree : 192.286436

I need to copy these values for each image to the next tags:

Xmp.Camera.Pitch Xmp.Camera.Roll Xmp.Camera.Yaw

Mostly for tag editing, I'm using ExifTool, but I can't find commands for copying values between tags inside one file. I'll be very appreciative of any recommendation.

Best, Andriy

To copy from one tag to another you would use the redirection feature of the -TagsFromFile option. Basically it would be
exiftool "-TARGETTAG<SOURCETAG" file.xmp

You have the names of the SourceTags (FlightPitchDegree/FlightRollDegree/FlightYawDegree), you just need to figure out the exiftool names of your target tags. I can find CameraPitch/CameraYaw/CameraRoll tags on the DJI Tags page, but those are not XMP tags. The only other place I can find tags with similar names are part of the XMP-Camera group, which are not built into exiftool and you would have to download the pix4d.config file and use the -Config option to include those definitions.

exiftool -config /path/to/pix4d.config "-XMP:Pitch< FlightPitchDegree" "-XMP:Yaw<FlightYawDegree" "-XMP:Roll< FlightRollDegree" file.xmp

The -config option must be the very first option in the command in order to load the definitions.
