Allow multiple tag selections in UI #2059
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am currently frustrated when trying to investigate specific subsets of assets in the Elementary UI because filtering is limited to only one tag at a time.
In my org we use multiple orthogonal tags to categorise assets (e.g., by business domain, team ownership, data sensitivity). We often need to narrow the results down to assets that possess a combination of tags, e.g. as finance AND daily.
Only being able to filter for a single tag slows down finding the relevant assets.
Describe the solution you'd like
Multi-tag filtering in the UI wherever it is possible to select by tag. e.g. multi-select in dropdowns, and nested tags in lists.
The primary need is for the AND operator to multi-select, only displaying assets that have all selected tags applied to them.
The OR operator would be nice to have too.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Our current approach is to manually cross-reference against different single-tag filter selections. This is time-consuming and error-prone especially with a large number of assets.
Another possibility would be to create a combined tag in the dbt project (e.g., tagging a model as finance-critical), but this leads to an explosion in the number of tags, makes the dbt project harder to maintain, and defeats the purpose of using atomic tags.
