Delete & Edit Attachment Tags

We recently changed/added/removed some Media Type table entries in RE 7 in order to have a cleaner selection in NXT. However, the changes do not translate from RE7 to RE NXT. Admins can add new tags in RE NXT, but not delete them.

A way to delete certain tags or edit their name without only having the option to clutter the drop menu with new selections would greatly help us keep our attachment tags clean.

    Control Panel -> Tables -> search "Attachment Tags"
    Now you can archive (delete) tags and "clean up" which means you can rename tags to another name

    Still amazed this feature has not been implemented yet

    Please work on implementing a way to make edits or delete attachment tags!! To have to keep misspellings/errors in our database just makes no sense.

    Being able to merge tags would be really useful too

    PLEASE IMPLEMENT! We are stuck with duplicate tags and/or variations that are not spelled correctly.

    This happens more than one would think.

    Really need this. Have variations of the same tag from user entry error that need to be cleaned and there is no work around. Worried about mistags and clean up process.

    I was very surprised to discover that attachment tags in web view were not related to media type in database view.  Media type is a table that we can edit and an admin can control, these tags are already a mess and there is no way to clean them up.  DO's are putting random sentences, donor names, words that have no context, how are tags useful if there is no rhyme or reason to them?  The fact that we can't clean it up either is a big downside, it is going to be very cluttered in there as time goes on.

    We now have several variations of the same tag (spelling/abbraviations) and that need to be cleaned and currently have no way of doing this. Table is going to get really messy.

    I was very surprised when I found out today (after spending an hour trying to figure it out), that you cannot edit the table field if it was entered in RENXT.  This one definitely needs to be fixed.

    Need this. Hard to communicate to team how to tag attachments efficiently if legacy attachment type entries remain active.
