Hi all,

I’m trying to create a requirement on a category where the user has to select one tag from a tag group, and then any other tags they add are free form. I thought this would be allowed via requiring one tag from my tag group and then the Allow Other Tags option. This doesn’t seem to be the case. If I enable allow other tags on top of everything else, it seems to completely remove the first requirement.
