Tag field different from rest #5

The difference between tag and other fields seems very unintuitive as all other fields are -FIELD but for tags is t/. Would standardising everything be better?

The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

Inconsistent prefix for the tag field.

Differences between the prefix for the tag field and all other fields: 1.All other fields used the - character to begin the field, the tag field uses the / character.

  1. The / character is placed after the field name for tag, while for the other fields the special character is before the name.
  2. All other fields are used with the full names, while t is a short hand.

These inconsistencies can be confusing for users, as they will have to remember these quirks while inputting data, which would reduce the usability of the app.
