Tags are not shared

[ajarzyn]

Description Tags are not shared between users. When the folder is accessed by the user (with access rights to that folders), Tags set on the shared documents/folders, are not shared with the target user.

Example admin Taged folder_1 with "Receipt" Tag admin has shared folder_1 to user_1 (Allow | Full Control) user_1 can see the tag on the folder, but do not have access to this tag in the Tag menu (can't pin it/edit it). (No Tags from admin are visible at user context) user_1 cannot add new Tag to the shared folder. (Tag appears for a moment but dissipaters after refresh).

Expected User (preferably with proper role) can view, add, and edit tags.

Actual

• user_1 cannot see any tags in Tags tab
• user_1 can see the tag on the folder, but do not have access to this tag in the Tag menu
• user_1 cannot add new Tag to the shared folder. (Tag appears for a moment but dissipaters after refresh).

You are welcome let me know if you would like me to help somehow.

I just stumbled onto the same problem (using Version v2.1.5-ls61). The problem even exists, when no folders are shared between users. When user 1 creates a bunch of tags, user 2 is not allowed to create any of these tags, but they do not show up in user 2's tag list.

However, I found a workaround: User 2 just needs to assign the respective tag(s) manually on a document/file once. Then the tag appears in the tag list.
