Tag Management UI #1444
Reference in New Issue
Block a user
Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @abossert on GitHub (Nov 6, 2019).
Describe the feature you'd like
I would like a single user interface where I can manage tags and tag values with the ability to see a mapping of where tags are (listing of shelves, books, chapters, and pages).
Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Tags are very easy to add and the live suggestions as you type are great, however, as a project ages, it is quite likely that the tags will get out of control unless there is an easy way to manage them and clean them up periodically. It would be great to be able to go to one place in the UI and be able to both see what tags are associated with what entities (shelves, books, etc.)
Additional context
The essential functionality requires no more than a new UI that simply reverses the normal mapping, which would be this:
[Shelf | Notebook | Chapter | Page] --> [tag1:tag-value1,tag2:tag-value2]
to this:
tag1:tag-value1 --> [Notebook1, Page21, Page23, Chapter3]
A nice to have feature down the road would be to include some data cleaning utilities such as what is included in tools like OpenRefine (similar strings, semantic similarity, misspellings, etc.)...But under no circumstances, should the latter feature be construed as necessary for an initial capability.

After recently having found how useful tags are for searching, i would love this feature!

Related to #868 and #1354.

I would love a way to manage and edit tags. Right now, I have no way to modify a tag created in error due to a typo. I can remove it and create a new tag that's spelled correctly, but the old, incorrect tag remains.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Jun 20, 2021):
@saijojoe The old tag should not remain, and you should be able to simply edit the name or the value of existing tags.
Maybe play with the demo instance to see if the behaviour is the same there, and if so, might be worth raising as an issue if you're able to provide clear steps in not being able to edit or remove tags.

I'm going to go ahead and close this off since a tag overview dashboard, with a full breakdown of usage, was added as part of BookStack v21.11:
