Why not use another tag like "Persons" for John, Peter and Sylvia and "Vehicules" for car, bike and plane?! |

Hi, I know this function from the different DMS and also like to work with parent-child relationships. As partly the child tags are used less often, like with taxes, which are only relevant for that one year. My examples for this: Parents: Tax Parents: Bank (in my case 5 banks/brokers + family banks) The other advantage, I can build the same structure as in my physical folder |

Has anyone used Gmail and their hierarchical tags? I would love to see this implemented in paperless. |

I believe also this would be useful. The combination of many Tags for one document would so be easier |

While I appreciate the added functionality proposed here, I'd like to add that some benefit could be had with a simple ui change (that could serve as a first step): Define (or let users specify) a split character like e.g. ":". These could be saved like this in the backend, so nothing changes there. - insurance
- life
- weather
- health
- cars
- school
- highschool
- univercity Now if these were collapsed on default, the tags selection would look a lot cleaner, even with a lot of tags. This would be a purely cosmetic change in frontend but it would already make using tags a lot cleaner imho. |

May this Ideo could be merged with this #1525 - Every thing is a Tag. |

I think it´s a good way to have a Main-Tag with Sub-Tags. When it ticks the Main-Tag also the Sub-Tags are shown. |

Any further thoughts on nested tags, maybe even from @shamoon ? |

One way I've seen this implemented is by making tags hierarchical, e.g. |

I support this, and i think it should be more than two hierarchies. This because people has use-cases for it, people who just need two can use two. Idk how it works on gmail, but instead of making a complex GUI to create these tag-hierarchies, it can be done with a special-character in the tag field. If the character is "

I am strongly in favour of this FR! Nested tags would sinplify tagging a lot and make it less of a manual effort to add all relevant tags. At the moment I use the tag „Car“ for car-stuff but then differentiate with tags by license plate number. At times I forget the overall „Car“ tag which is annoying. |

In other environments, the previouslyy described feature is also called "Power Tags" or "Supertags": tags that come with expected sub-items, such as properties or here, sub-tags. |

Hello, I am working with paperless ngx since a few days, first I thought I also need this kind of feature, but there are some tools in paperless which could resolve the use cases for me. E.g. you can assign mulitple tags without the relations betweens these tags by tag assigning via the consume folder
Or by the usage and definitions of workflows, e.g. if a document contains the words 'insurance' and 'life', assign the tags insurance and life. or if a document contains the words 'highschool' or 'high school', add the tags highschool and school. Or the automatic assignment of tags will learn when to add the tags, but I haven't tried this. Edit: My first intention was to organize the physical location of the document with tags, e.g. folder 1, separator 1, but now I do it simply with QR code ASN stickers on the document, put the documents in a folder sorted by ASN and label the folder with the ASN range. |

First of all, many thanks to all of you for making this fantastic application back to life
I may have a suggestion but I do not know if it was already suggested or even if this is possible (I am just a poor user, not a developer :-) ).
It would be nice to have the ability to organize tags by categories.
Let's see this like having a kind of tag with the property "is_category" set to true and some other tags referring to this tag.
This could be very usefull to keep tags organized in another way than using a naming convention as I am doing right now,making tags very long....
For instance, having the following tags:
Persons (is_category=true)
Vehicules (is_category=true)
Hope this find some echo in the feature requests
BR
