This will delay the loading of the tags by a few keystrokes. It does not improve the performance but it feels a bit less sluggish. But a minimum input length is also a breaking change and everyone using short tags is probably very unhappy about this :confused: :question: > > https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/34096/commits/1bfac6d0941894677117144519d14f8f3ed455ec: When you start typing tags are fetched via xhr. \`fetched\` is there to keep track if the data was loaded already. However we have 3 states: not loaded, loading and loaded. If the user continues to type and \`fetched\` is false another xhr request is started. This commit is here to address the loading state and prevent another xhr request. > > | Before | After | > | --- | --- | > | \[Screencast from 15.09.2022 12:26:43.webm\](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3902676/190436318-ed627a6b-49eb-4323-83ac-d5bc409100d5.webm) | \[Screencast from 15.09.2022 16:26:20.webm\](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3902676/190436520-e5cea483-9207-4f4e-bf00-10f1224d70f9.webm) | > > https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/34096/commits/79b4c4f50547232ad3e828be0ac94e9707c46124: It's an optional change. Adding 10k dom elements put some pressure on my browser. I'm not familiar with select2 and the internals however in my tests I noticed that we emit a deprecation warning for each tag. I rewrote getDescriptiveTag and it seems to help a little bit. > > > > > > > > > > Add 10k tags via occ: > \`\`\` > \#!/bin/bash > > for i in {1..10000} > do > php occ tag:add "Tag$i" "public" > done > \`\`\` ---

Thanks a lot, this change hasn’t made it into the NC 25 stable release, though. Let’s hope it will get merged soon. ---

Unfortunately no progress here, it hasn’t made it into 25.0.1 either, maybe the devs don’t want to revert ☹ ---
