Tags : Allow group admin to define a list of tags and provide a sane default

[philippejadin]

Tags quickly get messy if not constrained. I'd like to have a nice list of tags (like github labels) and allow group admin to change the allowed tags. This way they will be more limited. Also allow to use colours.

• Allow admin to set a predefined list of tags on their group (like on github issues). (stored as an array in the group settings)

• Only show those tags on user edit / filter screens

also use this for dropdowns (both filter and edit screens)

This indeed sounds like a solid plan. It balances flexibility with constraint. If tags are arbitrarily generated, they often don't serve the purpose of helping classify content.

thanks for the feedback. Also here there is a list of preset labels that could be useful (a simplified version that is)

tag ui needs rework but at least the basic features are there
