4 years ago Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the detailed report! That was very helpful. I've received a few reports about this now and am working on a fix. It should be ready later this week or early next week. Until then, please consider downgrading to Anki 2.1.26 if you can. Unfortunately the just released 2.1.28 has broken quite a few add-ons, and so 2.1.26 is the better choice at the moment in terms of add-on support.
I've written more about this over on the Patreon post, but to quote the important parts here (please make sure to read the section on how to downgrade especially):
I am working on a hotfix to make the add-on fully compatible with Anki 2.1.28, but until then my advice would be to downgrade to Anki 2.1.26 if you can (or remain on an earlier version if you are already on it). Anki 2.1.26 is marked as the current stable release, and you should be download it by clicking on the second blue button on the download page here. Quite a few other add-ons (both mine and from other authors) also seem to no longer work 2.1.28, so 2.1.26 seems like the better choice in terms of add-on support for now.
Important: If you do decide to switch back to 2.1.26, please make sure to downgrade your current collection first. To do so please go to the File>Switch Profile menu item, and click on “Downgrade & Quit”. If you skip this step, you may get an error message when opening your collection in an older Anki version, and you will need to return to this version, downgrade, then try again.
Sorry again about any inconvenience this might cause! I will be pushing the proper hotfix as soon as I can.

Which add-on is affected?
[BetterTags] Unable to drag/drop/rename with tags
Prerequisite checklist
What is the problem/feature you would like to see fixed/implemented?
Tag functionality is no longer working. Nothing implemented, just amended as unable to change tag names, locations or hierarchy.
How can we reproduce the problem?
As far as I am aware by following the below steps.
Modifying tags.
Expected behavior: [ What you expected to happen ] I excepted to combine them and the "dragged tag" to become a subtag as per previous use with this addon.
Actual behavior: [ What actually happened ] ^^
Reproducible?: [ Can you reliably reproduce the issue by following the steps above? ] Yes. I have done a number of times. Error report is always the same.
Error An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.
