Enhancement Request: Separate Tag Creation from ability to Add an existing Tag to an Issue

[GaryAitken]

It would be useful to be able to limit the creation of a new tag to a particular role, while still allowing others to add any of the existing tags to an issue. Currently, AFAIK the Add permission allows both the creation of a new tag and adding a tag to an issue.

Hello @GaryAitken ,

If I understand you correctly, this is already how it works. There are three permissions available: Add issue tags = Allows the user to create new Tags Edit issue tags = Allows the user to change Tags for an issue (Add/Remove Existing Tags) Display issue tags = Allows the user to see the Tags for an issue

I did a test. I turned off "Add Issue tags" and enabled "Edit Issue tags." I tried creating a new tag and it did not work, but I was able to add an existing Tag to an issue.

Funny tidbit: Enabling "Add issue tags" and disabling "Edit issue tags" is a funny combination because the user cannot access the tags for an issue.

My appologies. I had the add permission on in one role and off in another and the user has both roles. As a side note, when editing an issue, if you do not have the add permission, you can add a tag in the tag line and when you hit or a comma, it looks like it worked -- the tag appears with an 'X' beside it; but it disappears when doing a save, with no warning / error given. It would be nice if an error was displayed and the tag add process could not be completed.

As I understood, this problem was a permission issue and is solved.
