Add and Remove Tags from the Properties Panel [Beta]

Updates Announcements
#22

Just added more information about tags to the post, but in short, they are part of the CollectionService and offer a nice way to apply behaviors to many instances. By adding tags to the properties panel, we’re hoping to make this feature more visible to creators.

This was something easy to do with the still far more fit for purpose tag editor, this change just feels like added bloat to the property panel and It would be good to have the option to disable it in studio settings.

I use tags a lot in my workflow, and this is clearly inferior to the existing tooling we have

Basically, tags are directly related to a service called CollectionService. By running CollectionService:GetTagged(tagName) you can fetch all the in-game instances that have the tagName tag. That way scripts can quickly fetch common instances that aren’t organized in a folder-like way, without having to loop over many parents to locate them.

This update basically gives developers the ability to manually add a tag to an instance without doing it through a script(either an in-game one, plugin one, or command line one).

I’ve always wondered why this wasn’t a default/standard thing already but I am so glad it’s there now.
Assigning tags through scripts is kind of a pain so having this is very nice and welcome.

Thanks for this update.

You could do that from a script all the time since CollectionService existed… now you can do that from the Properties panel!

What are the advantages to using tags for as shown, kill bricks, instead of just creating a folder filled with the kill bricks and indexing through the folder using ipairs whenever a descendant or child is touched?
