Changing group tags - 137 views

#1 Marielle Palombo on 05 Jan 11I would like to change a group tag. I know how to change a tag in my own library, but I can't find a parallel function in a group tag library. Using the revise tags function, I can batch add a new tag, but I don't see how to batch delete the old one. I can change the tag in the group tag dictionary going forward, but I want to change all previously tagged items, too. (I asked about this in another thread a couple of months ago, but no one replied.)

#7 Marielle Palombo on 14 Jan 11Following the above directions still does not solve the problem I'm describing. Deleting the tag in the tag dictionary does not delete it from all the items that have been previously tagged, but only prevents it from appearing in the suggested tag list in the future. This makes organizing a dynamic set of group tags more difficult. If there were a third option in the "revise tags" box that says "Delete tag from selected items," that would work. Might that be added?

#9 Marielle Palombo on 02 Feb 11Yes, we have been using the tag dictionary feature and found it useful, although the tag limit is somewhat constraining. The issue is that we'd like to change one of those standard dictionary tags retroactively (for all previously tagged items) as well as for future bookmarks.
