[Feature request] Add possibility to merge tags #992

Open DBinaghi opened 1 year ago

DBinaghi commented 1 year ago

Sometime it happens two or more tags are added, maybe just differing by one symbol (e.g.: "colored" and "coloured") or by capital/lowercase letters. At the moment, one has to reassign correct tags, deleting then the unused ones, since admin ui doesn't let assign a tag that already exist. It would be therefore very useful to have a function that allows merging of tags: by changing one, if that tag is already existing, all tags are reassociated to the existing one.

One possible solution is in https://github.com/omeka/Omeka/pull/902 and https://github.com/omeka/Omeka/pull/901

+1. This must be a very common need.
