I found this topic [Tags removed from composer when creating shared draft](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-removed-from-composer-when-creating-shared-draft/107111)  
It’s said that this issue is fixed. @jomaxro, @eviltrout  
But I have this problem.  
My instance is 2.6.0.beta1 [fd02856f80](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/fd02856f8069031240b20bd84c6ddbf468665327)

So I created a Drafts category and set it as a Shared drafts category in admin settings.  
Then I filled in the topic:

1. created a topic, saved it,
2. set a category to publish in the future
3. set a tag
4. saved the topic.

While saving the draft I saw that for 1 second that the tag was visible, but next second it dissapeared.  
Any ideas what could prevent me from saving a tag within a draft topic?

Hey Ed,

I’m having a hard time reproducing this. The tag I added isn’t disappearing.

My steps:

1. Click New Topic
2. Change to Shared Draft via the composer action button
3. Write a Title
4. Set the category
5. Write the body
6. Click “create shared draft”
7. Click the edit pencil next to the title
8. Add a tag and save

The tag is still there for me. I also tried the edit via the full edit pencil below the post, still worked.

> Set the category

If I want to publish the post in a future, in a draft mode I can’t set a category at this step.  
Firstly, I need to save it in the Drafts category not to publish the post immediately.  
Then I edit the draft and choose the category in a special menu (not an ordinary in a composer).

When you chose the Destination category, you can edit the draft post and choose necessary tags that are loaded from the destination category. Choose smth, save it. Pay attention that while saving the chosen tags are visible and then dissapear.

Still no repro. Test steps are now:

1. Click New Topic
2. Change to Shared Draft via the composer action button
3. Write a Title
4. Ignore (don’t set) the category
5. Write the body
6. Click “create shared draft”
7. Click the edit pencil next to the title
8. Add a tag and save

Tag still there after saving.
