Hey Bubblers, Im having a tagging issue again 
I managed to be bale to create tags with Multiselect dropdown but having a problem to manage how to add tags to my posts when creating one… tried some custom states, but cannot find them etc… I don’t really know what am I doing wrong and did not found this solved on the forum. Here is my app where Im creating a post (in my case Im creating a tool, but its basically just a post page):
Hi there, @jankosara… if I am seeing things correctly, the problem is the type of choices for your multi-dropdown is set to text, but your Tags field is a list of tags. So, if you change the type of choices for the multi-dropdown to Tag, you should be able to set the Tags field to the multi-dropdown’s value in the workflow.
Best…

Yes, but than I cannot add new texts in the multidropdown… adding new tags in the mutidropdown is working only when the type is text

As about you recipe to disaster: its a good point and I think you are right. I will re-evaluate But still Im always keen to find a solution to my problem Anyway thanks for you kind help !!
No, I was referring to the Tags field on your Tool data type. If the type of choices for your multi-dropdown is text, you won’t be able to save the selected values to a field that isn’t a list of texts, and currently, your Tags field is a list of tags.
Yes this works and its good, but now the problem is that I still need to be able somehow to extract from these tags (that are) just texts to data type “tags” so I can than refer to these tags wen a user clicks to certain tag… I don’t know if I am clear enough.
I was thinking about making a backend workflow f…
