I'm trying to create a writable user-defined tag based upon the example in this post but run into a problem.  The config file in that post returns Warning: Tag 'IPTC_Credit' is not defined Nothing to do. in the current version (as well as ver 10.52), but works properly in ver 10.13.

Any ideas on how to make it work?

"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Thanks for this report.  There were some changes in this area to fix other problems.  I'll look into this first thing tomorrow.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Ah, yes.  Found the bug.  It was due to this change:

May 3, 2016 - Version 10.16
  - Fixed problem where user-defined Composite tags may not always override
    pre-defined Composite tags with the same name, and added feature to allow
    the user to specify whether they should override existing tags or not

This will be fixed in 10.98.

Nice catch!!
