Hi,
Was something changed somewhere between 4.0.1 and 4.0.7 with regards to the sorttitle field? Seems that is was automatically being filled in before upon scraping but now every time I scrape a movie it is blank. Is there someway in the the settings that I might have disabled this?

that is automatically filled in if you assign that to a movie set.. otherwise we leave blank (IIRC)

okay, you're speaking of the title sortable (the sorttitle is some sort of "internal" field for Kodi to sort movies the "right" way in the UI).
according to the changelog we do not have touched this part - but the sure you have displayed the right column! (the title not the sorttitle)

Then I don't see its use at all. Movie set doesn't support it, sorting by title won't be affected by that field, and sorting by sorttitle (if it's manually filled in) would only work if it gets auto-filled with title sortable when it's empty.
Edit: It may be useful if it works as a means to override title sorting (by title sortable) with manually filled in values, which is exactly what a sort-field does by definition.

OK, I see Kodi already supports the field for internal title sorting.
What I'm saying is it has no use for tmm.
It's up to the user what they want to fill in for specific movies (it should be something different from title and original title, solely for sorting purpose), but currently the field has no use with tmm.
