When logged in as a non-staff user, I can still see a staff-only tag in the dropdown when creating a topic.
Is this able to be hidden, so only staff members can see the staff tag in the dropdown?
Thanks

Staff only tags are tags only staff can use, they aren’t intended to be hidden from users. I’m not sure that it is possible to prevent users from seeing them at all at the moment. @neil should know…

I agree with @tomwrench that they shouldn’t be showing in the tags input field to non-staff. I’ll add it to my list of improvements to do as I’m re-writing a lot of the tag support.

This is done. The tag inputs won’t show staff-only tags to non-staff anymore.
