Tags could easily become a good tool to mark a file that has completed a process’s step and then help every one to manage simples process workflows.
A bug simple to fix is a obstacle for that. I explain the context then the bug.
It’s presentely too hard and non-intuitive to tag a file that completed a step.
4 clics needed.
The first to open options on a file, the second on three points … to open drop-down tags list, then you search the right tags then on click to choose it, and another click to close files’s options.
NC is very near to help doing a process tagging easily thanks to automated tagging, but a behaviour that seems to be a bug prevents it.
Nextcloud version : 28.0.14
Step to reproduce it
1/ Create a new automated tagging flow with :
File MIME type is not Folder
and Request URL matches Custom URL /SECRET*/i
the associated tag is “Secret” (restricted)
This helps to tag any file who is uploaded in any folder whose name begin by the word SECRET
2/ Upload the file “Boss strategy1.pdf” in the Folder named “SECRET marketing”
immediately, the file is tagged with “Secret”. All is right
3/ Upload a file “Boss strategy2.pdf” in any Folder which is not secret
then use the nextcloud Move action to move this file in the “SECRET marketing” folder.
This time the tag do not appears on the “Boss strategy2.pdf” file.
It’s too bad : The tag should have appeared as well as before.
4/ Move the “Boss strategy2.pdf” file from the “SECRET marketing” folder to another folder whose name do not contains the word SECRET.
Then the “Boss strategy2.pdf” appears as a tagged file with the tag “Secret”
This proves that the tagging works with the move of a file, but it shaws the display of the tag did not worked when the file had been moved within an automated tagging area.
If this apparent bug is fixed, it should be a great progress that helps every one to manage simples process workflows.
Who can give an answer to this issue ?
