  • Merging two or more tags into one

Are there other critical features you'd like to see here? Please add your thoughts in the comments, or just click "Me Too!" to vote up this feature.

    It would also be great to be able to create tags on import. Or at least be able to create tags in bulk.

    This would be realy helpful to have these features, otherwise the tag base can be quite easily polluted with typing errors, etc.
    Any ETA for this ?

    It would be great if we could compile all the tags in one page and add a description

    any news on that ? The only solution I found so far is to use  a custom entity as a tag database. :(

    Agree on creating tags on bulk import. 

    I think it would also be useful to have permissions as far as who can edit tags.

    Any progress on this? Our tags database is filling up quickly with typos and duplicates .....

    This wants a bump. A tags page that list all tags so some can be deleted, is a must to keep the system clean and tidy.

    Perhaps some sort of synonym dictionary as well.  For instance, if you had tags like "cloth, clothes, clothing, wardrobe, outfit, outfits, costume, costumes", you would probably want all threse to show up whenever one of the tags is used.  It would help for the plural vs singular cases as well.

    For the App Developers side it would be great to be able to get all Tags with a single request. Filtering by project, asset or any other Entity would be awesome.

    Hey everyone,

    The work on this would would be to convert Tags to be a real entity. Once we do that, we can show them on page, give you ways to display/manage/rename them. It's not a tremendous amount of work, but enough that we'd need to schedule it against other big projects on the roadmap. Not something we'll be getting into just yet, but I think we have enough info on this one to make it actionable when we do! Marking it as Not Planned for now, but I'll flip it to Planned when we get to it. Thanks for your patience on this one.

    Yes please.. our shotgun site is now almost 7 years old.. this is a growing issue.. it´s becoming real messy with tags now.
    It´s high time to look at it. We have been waiting since 2013

    Hi Folks,

    Thanks for the renewed interest in this. I'll be working with the developers to revisit the v1 spec of this based on your feedback (and the groundwork investigation Ben started last year). No firm ETA on an implementation date, but as soon as I have more info on the subject I'll share it here.

    Hi Julien et al,

    We're wrapping up designs on this feature and I'll be working to get it into an upcoming sprint. Once development officially gets underway I'll be able to provide a more definitive estimate for when you can expect to see this released.
