When I try to add new tags to a document, the new tags won’t stick. I recently changed my database settigns to use Tags of Groups:

 ![Monosnap 2020-10-08 07-25-31](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/3X/2/d/2d432b9b3022f41c7ac39ba4e69b7d6f581e46d2.png)

Now, if I add additional tags (not related to the group), those tags dissapear on the document. Also, if I remove a tag (not relate to the group) the tag will reappear. It’s almost like all my documents are locked in a state in which only keeps track of the Tags of Groups, but no other tags.

Additionally, I noticed this doesn’t happen if I use the inspector to edit tags. It only happens when I edit tags in the bottom tag viewer under the document.

Welcome @Jiyosub

I am not able to reproduce this issue here.

Screen captures of the group, its content, and the tags or a screen cast of the behavior would be helpful.

Can I send you the screencast directly? I prefer not to have it public.
