In Forms, I can set default field values or change a current field value. 
However, it does not appear possible to do the same with Tags?

I have only been able to view the current Tags in a form (by using the ItemTags field in the form).
Is this correct, or is there some way to set a Tag in a Form?

If not, a workaround may be to create some dummy fields in the form, and then use Auto-assign to set Tags based on the dummy field values...?

no, forms are for fields only

But you can also use items as forms which will allow you to copy both values and tags

Steps are:

  1. Create a grid and show the tags column and other field-based columns. You can use Column sets to dynamically load sets of columns (based on your forms) (see 4. Grid Columns and Column Sets)
  2. Create some "template" items with the values and tags that you want
  3. You can now copy / paste values and/or tags between items

HTH !

So I would:
1. Create a "dummy items" with Tags and Fields in a special grid.
2. Copy the relevant one using Copy Special (#5 XML format)
3. Paste it in the Grid where I want it.
4. Change Item text.

Did I understand it correctly? 

In v119:

  • New: Forms: Support for ItemTags field, being able to assign tags by form: Enter the list of tags to add (#Tag1 #Tag2 ...)
How do I ?
