Credit tag is added as a normal tag

๐Ÿ’ป Environment/Context

  • Metadata & credits
  • Tags

ย 

โ“ Issue/Question

  • The tag is added as a tag, not a credit, but it must be added as a credit
  • The photographer credit tag is not being added as a Credit in the media, but as a normal tag
  • I can't add a new credit, it just makes a tag
  • When you try to add the tag as a credit, the dropdown shows No options

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • Add the tag to the Credits tag group
  • Check the name of the Credits tag group
    • Go to Taxonomy > Tag group tab
    • Check the tag group is named Credits
    • If it has another name (e.g. Photo Credit), rename it back to Credits and click Update
  • Workaround
    • If it still doesn't work, or the tag was already in the group, remove the tag and click Update
    • Add the tag again and click Update

ย 

๐Ÿฅš Cause

  • Once the photographer tag is in the Credits tag group, the system detects it as a credit and converts it
  • If the Credits tag group is renamed, tags added to it are not set as credits. Renaming the group back doesn't fix tags that were already added: remove them and add them again
