Continuing the discussion from [Compose a new pre-filled topic via URL](https://meta.discourse.org/t/compose-a-new-pre-filled-topic-via-url/28074/12):

Creating topics via URL is awesome! Just what the doctor ordered… but, we’d really like to be able to include `&tags=foo,bar,baz` in the URL. I realize that having tags in a plugin probably makes the solution more complicated.

Is this on anyone’s radar?

Thanks!

Not sure, you’d need to ask @techapj and he can add it to his list.

Heya @techAPJ,

How much 🍻 will it take to add a `tags` param to the awesome pre-filled topic via URL feature? 😃

Any luck on this feature? Is this feature still in the very end of the backlog?😣  
I tried to do it myself by mimicking [FEATURE: support category/subcategory name in new-topic route by arpitjalan · Pull Request #3434 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/3434) but failed.  
It seems requires a decent understanding of the tagging plugin in order to implement this feature.

Possible, tags was pulled into core in 1.6 so it will be much more closely integrated.

Is there a timeline for this feature?  
Just want to know a rough timeframe for this and I can plan my development accordingly.

Composing a new (pre-filled) topic via URL now supports (multiple) tags! ☀

Example:

[https://meta.discourse.org/new-topic?title=topic%20title&body=topic%20body&category=support/wordpress&tags=sso,wordpress](https://meta.discourse.org/new-topic?title=topic%20title&body=topic%20body&category=support/wordpress&tags=sso,wordpress)
