Is it usual to have multiple tags that appear the same

[raoul]

Forgive me if this is a naive question.

We seem to have multiple tags that have the same name.

They contain different sets of field/value pairs though.

Yes,
We can have same tags with same fields /key=value pairs but they must be in different app's.

I too few concerns around,

Example: we have tags ES and Search app.
1. I have added 4 fields in ES app now when i was about to add same fields in search app they are getting Saved but they don't render.But using tags.conf i have added in hard way and they show up.Though i know thats not the right process.
2. if i am adding tags through UI , in tags.conf spaces are getting replaced with %20.Why SO?
3. Their must be some better option for providing permissions if i created multi fields in the tag.
4. if i disable the tags, to revoke/get back i have to grant permission to every individual field.

I guess I don't understand the problem. Tags can be applied to any field/value combination, and in fact they're really mostly useful if a single tag is in fact applied to many of them. What were you expecting tags to do for you? Perhaps there is some other functionality that you are looking for that is implemented differently.

Field extractions or tags?
