I find that it’s not possible to add/edit an existing topic’s tags. The modification was lost right after refreshing the page…

This is maybe a bug? or the software simply doesn’t allow modifying tags once a topic is posted?

Any help would be appreciated 😺

You can edit a topic to add a tag. 👍 (I’ve just added one to this topic as an example 🙂 )

Could you talk me through how you’re encountering this issue? Are there any trust level restrictions in place that could be blocking you from tagging on that site?

Oh I see the tag you added. There must be some configuration error on my site 🥲

I recorded my screen, the scene was as below ⬇

The tag I added just disappeared 🤣

I’m the admin of this site, so I think maybe it’s not the problem of trust level 🤔

Maybe a plugin issue? Could you try [safe-mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-discourse-safe-mode/53504) ?

And is it across all tags, or just that specific one?

I’ve been trying to replicate this, but no luck so far. I’ve slid it over to the #Support category to see if anyone else can think of a way to help. 👍

Are there any errors in the console when you set the tag/refresh the page?
