When writing a new topic I’m able to specify tags. When I click in the box it states “search or create…”. However I seem to be unable to create new tags or I have missed that possibility.
Can anybody please clarify how one is able to create tags?

when you create a new post you should have a tag dropdown. If you type something which is not existing tags then it will be automatically created for your topic.

This doesn’t work for me unfortunately - I tried by creating this topic: [https://discourse.geta12.com/t/test-for-creating-a-tag/80?u=abrieg](https://discourse.geta12.com/t/test-for-creating-a-tag/80) - the tags name should have been `content`.

We just updated the trust level of some new mgm users to level 3 and now you should be able to create tag within a post. Please help us to verify. 🙂
