2016-04-09 20:15:00 JP description I've worked with Tag Mapper a lot now. I hope you can come up with an easy way to add a Tag to a Remove rule that doesn't require "manually" opening Tag Mapper and adding or editing an existing Remove rule. It occurs to me that the database structure would prevent this as a "default" type action, so I believe the easiest method would be: 1- Manage Tags 2- multi-select desired labels (as can currently be done to delete multiple tags) 3- click a newly created button to generate a comma separated text string of the unwanted tags that are selected (ie, unwanted tag 1, get rid of me, deleteme) that the user can easily copy/paste into a rule through Tag Mapper (normal means) To be clear, I've tried the copy/paste one by one into a text file that I then copy/paste into the rule all at once. I've also typed a lot, but I'm sure you can imagine that hundreds and hundreds of tags becomes completely inefficient to do this way....and they don't match patterns to eliminate. Thank you for your consideration. I've worked with Tag Mapper a lot now.

I've just realized such a generated text string could be helpful for ANY Tag Mapper rules since the user can just paste it as needed. Thank you for your consideration.
