Hello,
When I get metadata from AMG, the INVOLVEDPEOPLE tag is not complete.
There will be one or sometimes two categories shown, but no data.
Like INVOLVEDPEOPLE=Engineer
This with FLAC files.
Any ideas?

In the AMG capture screens, it shows the info. It does not tag the file.

The file is tagged fine using the same technique to store the involved people list (IPLS frame) as the ID3v2 standard and that is by using #0 ( Chr(0) ) as a delimiter, I am afraid that the utility you use does not support this char correctly.
Also there is no standard for Flac files (Vorbis comments) as to how this field will be implemented.

Hmmm. It does not show using metaflac, foobar, or mp3tag.
I don't have any good ideas, but perhaps doing whatever others are doing to have data in the field would be good.
