Feature Request: Parent/Child "Nested" Tag Relationships

[a2brew]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

Today, items must be tagged manually, with each applicable tag. This can lead to a somewhat disorganized sprawl of tags, some of which are always 'paired' with each other anyway.

What is the solution you are proposing?

I think it would be valuable to be able to designate a tag as a 'parent' tag & add 'child' tags to the parent, so if an item is tagged with the child tag, it also shows up in reports/search results for the parent tag as well.

What alternatives have you considered?

Manual tagging of such 'child/parent' tags individually

Additional context

Example:

• Parent Tag: Electronics & Accessories
  • Hard Drives
  • Backup Hard Drive
  • Production Hard Drive
  • Spare Hard Drive
  • Computers
  • Laptops
  • Servers

This actually makes perfect sense to be honest, maybe even having a button with something simple like “inherit parent tags” so that the user can decide whether to or not..!
