Can't create new tag when splitting posts into a new topic

I’m fairly sure this used to work before so may be a regression.

On moving posts to a new topic, it does not let you create a new tag - just select from existing tags.

I don’t think that ever worked, so changing this to feature. Creating a new tag isn’t really the goal of splitting posts out of a topic.

Create the tag, then split.

Just came across this and was also puzzled at what seems to me to be inconsistent UI. When creating a topic you can select tags and create them if they don’t exist. In this instance you can select tags but have no option to create them. As a user I wasted time trying to figure out if I was doing something wrong.

The UI trains the user to interact in a certain way, and this kinda breaks that contract. Seems weird not to support it.

And how do we usually create tags? By creating topics. And what is this operation? Creating a topic.

It’s not even clear to me how to make a tag without creating a topic. Now if you’d said

Split, then tag (and create)

I wouldn’t quibble, though I would disagree.
