Process: We need to add tags to all our tickets before solving them. When entering a tag name it will show you the pre-entered tags but you can also create a new one in this field.

 

Problem: When entering a tag on a ticket you can use the pre-existing tags but you can accidentally create a new tag if you misspell the original one or want to use a new tag that does not exist yet. Eg, we have a pre-entered tag named Invoice but if you misspell it or add more letters like Invoices or Invoce then a new tag will be entered.

Due to this, instead of the pre-entered 50 tags we now have 3 times as many.

 

Solution: It would be great if we could block the ability to add new tags when tagging a ticket and instead only be able to do it under Admin/Tags.

This would solve a lot of manual issues for us.

Hey! I noticed the other day in the Roles section by adding a new role you could limit the user in being able to create tags. Maybe one to consider? 

 

Personally for us we had this issue and created a new custom field which had options to select from so there could be no room for error, we now virtually do not use tags to categorise our tickets and use the new custom field I created.

 

Hope this helps! :)
