I love tagging in Discourse, and the loose structure is great the majority of the time. For some use cases though, it would be great to have a guided submission that guarantees a certain set of inputs that the “optional tags” box in the standard topic creation window doesn’t give users. **My use case is this:** In a category for support requests, I want to **guarantee** (not just _suggest_ via a template) that people use a specific set of tags, from a couple different categories, and they can immediately see all of the available options that the categories of tags are required. I imagine that, in categories where this feature is enabled, clicking create topic might first open a modal. The modal would ask most of of the same, but it would have pre-determined, required tag categories/parent tags/tags as defined in the category settings. I can certainly draw what I see in my mind, if someone wants a terrible MS paint mockup 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-about-an-advanced-or-guided-submission-process-for-new-topics-in-certain-categories/270396)._
