Hi there

I’m new to using form templates so hopefully this is just me overlooking something.

I’ve created a form template that populates a dropdown from a tag group, which shows up correctly, but it doesn’t allow me to select anything.

- The category _does_ have 3 tag groups restricted to it, with “also allow other tags” unchecked
- There are no categories specified in the “required tag group”, although ideally I’d like to have the same 3 tag groups specified here

The yaml for my form is:

```yaml
- type: tag-chooser
  id: issue-type
  tag_group: "Issue Type"
  attributes:
    none_label: "Select a type"
    label: "Type"
    multiple: false
  validations:
    required: true

- type: tag-chooser
  id: issue-priority
  tag_group: "Issue Priority"
  attributes:
    none_label: "Select a priority"
    label: "Priority"
    multiple: false
  validations:
    required: true

```

The preview loads fine:

But the form itself on topic creation, doesn’t allow me to select any tags:

All tag groups are similar in set up -

Any help appreciated. As I said, hopefully something simple 🤞
