Hi everyone,

I noticed that when I'm filling custom tag values they are not remembered (stored?) anymore. Usually when I added a new tag value, the next time I wanted to fill it in it popped up in a choice list. This doesn't happen anymore. Any idea?

And when I'm at it, is it possible to have these tags displayed somewhere, so I can edit them and they automatically change the (corrected) value to the entry where it was initially filled in?

Thanks in advance,
Bodtje

Could it be that the custom tags in question are set to a type other than String?

Thanks for your quick reply, but no... they are set to String (see Custom 1 to 4)

I can't think of an answer to this, but...

You can use the Vertical Tag Editor to edit tags in (almost?) any of the on-screen panels.

To fix existing tag values, you can use the Search & Replace tool.

If you have a fairly limited number of possible values for the tag, you could change the type to Enum or Enumerated to make it a checkbox list (it still allows free entry, just shows the existing values in a selectable list).

Many thanks for the suggestion. In the meanwhile I found out a method myself. And that includes the Search & Replace.
