Make Multiple Tag Entry the Default

jtemplin

In the grand scheme of things, this is a VERY minor request, but it's been an ongoing annoyance. Why are there two dialog windows for entering tags on a transaction? The first window allows entry of a single tag, but if you want to enter multiple tags, you have to click the "Multiple Tags" button first, then you get the second window where you can select more than one.

Why is that? Why not present just the multiple tag window and I can pick just one, or as many as I want without the extra button click.

Use case: I have two dogs and I have a tag for each one. When I categorize a "Pet Expense" if it's something for both of them like dog food that happens often, I want to enter both their tags on the transaction. A minor nit, but I find I'm clicking that "Multiple Tags" button a lot and it seems unnecessary.

@jtemplin you can already do this if you enter the tags separated by a colon.

Tag1:Tag2:Tag3

There also doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of tags per transaction.

Yes, but then I have to (egads!) type them. But it's not SO bad since you get autocompletion as you type them.

I confess, I’m more of a mouse whisperer than a keyboard ninja—if there’s a clickable way to do something, that’s usually my route.

@jtemplin that is definitely understandable, but that is the only workaround for now. Your idea makes perfect sense. But I think most users don't even know that multiple tags are even possible on Quicken Windows.
