    Hi Sumit and welcome to the forum.

    What version of Umbraco are you using?

    And how have you setup the tags on your page?

    Please elaborate a bit more and perhaps add some screendumps - then it will be much more easy to help you out.

    /Jan

    Hi Jan.. thanks..

    I am using Umbraco v 4.7.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.4281.20201)

    As you can see The tags are coming fine here.... but when I make a copy the Tags get erased....

    Hi Sumit

    I've just tested on a 4.7.1 using the tags datatype and I can confirm this behaviour. I'm not sure if it's intended behaviour but I indeed see it as a bug since it should not be neccesary to create the tags all over when the node has been copied.

    Would you mind submitting it as a bug on codeplex? I'm not sure if it will be fixed in another round of bugfixing for 4.7.1 since v5 is around the corner and is going to be the main focus. But if enough people vote it up it might have a chance since 4.7.1 will be bugfixed for some time to come. It's just a matter of prioritizing the ones that has got the most votes I think.

    I don't know if this workaround I'm going to suggest will work for you in your case...but if it's possible you could to this.

    1) Create a document type called "Tags"
    2) Create another document type called "Tag" and then go to "Tags" and under the strcuture "tab" place a checkmark in the "Tag" document type.
    3) Go to your content section and create a Tag repository by creating the "Tags" document type on level 1 and then create the tags you need under it on level 2.
    4) Go to the developer section and create new datatype by right clicking the datatype folder and create a new datatype called "CustomTags" and then select the ultimate picker and configure the picker to look at the "Tags" document by giving it the node id of the tags node in the content tree and make sure it renders a checkbox list.
    5) Go to the settings section and select your Textpage/document document type and add a new Tags property to it where you use the "CustomTags" datatype you have just created.

    Now you should be able to pick your tags and also be able to copy the nodes where the selected tags are being copied as well. You should be aware that you probably will need to make a change in the way the rendering of the tags work when viewing the website.

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan
