Mandatory Tags

Postby Salasko Racing on Mon May 30, 2016 2:41 am

Is there anyway to disable these or have them auto populate? I'm updating some old projects and these add a lot of extra work. I don't use them or have any customers that do, it's much easier just to type a few letters of the group you're looking for.

The use of tags is currently being reviewed. The functionality may change in future releases.

Great news, I guess I'll hold off on some of these updates.

Any news on this? Every time I open build, I have to change the tag selection on root, or I get a tag conflict when trying to build. I personally don't want the tags at all. The idea is really nice, but since the type of tag is dependent upon the object type, it's not exactly ideal. I end up just deselecting the tags when selecting objects in M1 Tune, which just adds an additional step to selecting objects.

I think I might spend as much time on these tags as I do building updates...

As of the latest build system update, it seems that you no longer have to give everything tags - you get a warning instead of an error and it will still compile. Yay!

I noticed the other day on a new project I started. Awesome change, especially for those of us that do a lot of one off projects or on site work.

If we can't totally eliminate tags can we please at least have the next version of Tune automatically have none of the tags checked by default?

The amount of time I waste trying to talk customers through unclicking the "normal" checkbox is staggering. I just can't see these tags being good for anything besides confusion.
