Custom Fields To Metadata?

I use the custom fields for the name of the model, stylist, hair, etc and love that these are easy to find in MP because they are using custom fields rather than a morass of hierarchy keywords. However, I cannot get to these values later in a generated JPG for example. I would love a method to get the custom fields into metadata somehow, even if I have to get those values into the comments area. Any ideas?

  The Keywords field is the most 'compatible' field so i think it's best to use that for it.

  There are a multitude of metadata fields, many of which are often left unused. I would suggest choosing some appropriate fields to use in the future instead of creating custom fields. For example, here are the fields available in the IPTC Extension (instead of IPTC Core):
  
  (I don't have a copy of MediaPro in front of me, so I'm not positive that MediaPro accesses the IPTC Extension fields)
  
  Person shown
  Location where the image was created
  Location shown
  Name of featured organization
  Code of featured organization
  Event
  Artwork or object in the image
  Additional model info
  Model age
  Minor model age disclosure
  Model release status
  Model release identifier
  Image supplier
  Supplier's image ID
  Registry entry
  Max. Available height
  Max. Available width
  Type of source
  Image Creator
  Copyright owner
  Licensor
  Property release status
  Property release ID
  
  For a group of photos which have already used custom fields, you could switch the data over to the "standard" IPTC fields via a script if you chose.
