Yes! I am encountering this issue right now.

For the [Discourse Category Experts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-category-experts/190814) plugin, you can specify certain tags to be added to posts _if_ topics in that category contain a reply from someone in the group you specify.

The thing is, you can only choose created tags, which means I’d need to:

1. add the tag to a post
2. remove the tag from a post
3. navigate back to the category settings and add that tag to the category experts setting within it

Super cumbersome!
