Tx, Jonathan. 

For later works I add the following question about the form.
And in the end I add some cases.

I've applied the following actions (case of 'All" option):
--Delete field 650$x if 650$x matches RegEx m/ ^second 650 /
--Copy field 650$x to 650$y if 650$x matches RegEx m/ ^second 650 /
--Move field 650$x to 650$y if 650$x matches RegEx m/ ^second 650 /

and the following actions (case of "First" option):
--Delete 1st field 650$x if 650$x matches RegEx m/ ^second 650 /
--Copy 1st field 650$x to 650$y if 650$x matches RegEx m/ ^second 650 /
--Move 1st field 650$x to 650$y if 650$x matches RegEx m/ ^second 650 /

to my test biblio record.

No difference has appeared in the results between the corresponding "All/First"
actions.

The action "Add/Update" has no "All/First" option. [For example:
--Update field 650$x with value new-value-updated if 650$x matches RegEx m/
^second 650 / ]. 

So, no difference for all the 4 actions applying "All" or "First" option.

Is the "All/First" option not usefull? 
Is the form wrong?

In the action "Add/Update" the subfield before the "if" is mandatory.

It could be that the "All/First" option be not concerning the subfields [it
seemes so at least in cases of rep fields/rep subfields]

The "All/First" option is surely usefull for the fields. 

I think the page is not very friendly in some cases.

Perhaps, as for "Add/Update":

*** in case the user fills the subfield before the "if", the option "All/First"
could be hidden in COPY/MOVE/DELETE actions

*** otherwise, in case the user doesn't fill the subfield before the "if", the
option "All/First" is shown, concerning the fields only.

---------------------------------------------------------
Another way could be change the order of the input fields in the form:

Delete/Copy/Add subfield ? of "All/First" field ? ....
---------------------------------------------------------
Or, perhaps, the fields could be shown in the form as mandatory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 4 actions, run to my test biblio record, give the following results:
