Nested tags will potentially present a number of new UI and ontology issues. It will not make things better unless there is a robust tag management system to go along with it. I also agree with Justin below that Object hierarchy should be considered or at least the ability to have clustered Objects. The strategy for Objects, tags and search should be fully considered before just adding tag hierarchy which by itself may be a negative.

This would also provide more context to an LLM which is trying to make sense of my content and it would help the LLM automatically apply tags in a helpful way.

It would be most useful to me if I could define sets of mutually exclusive tags like status::new, status::in progress, and status::done.

Having nested tags and collections is (imho) essential for properly organizing some specific objects and data. It would be awesome to finally have those features.

Are those still planned and is there maybe a very rough time frame when at least a first version could be available?

Thanks!

For Pro users, this will be solved by the "In progress" added feature of AND operations for tag queries, which will enable searching for objects with multiple specified tags:

i absolutely support this request!

Currently i'm using nested tags manually with the quoted syntax.

Just a couple of examples:

Nesting of collections is also very practical and important! Please consider

Don't you think the ability to "tagging a tag" would provide a great solution to this issue? It would be totally in line with the third heuristic presented by Seffen Bleher in his thread about tagging https://x.com/steffenBle/status/1499119720758497280

I think that nesting for all object types are just as important as nested tags. Tana has a feature for “extending” supertags (object types) that sets the default properties for the nested tag the same as the parent tag, with the option to add additional properties. This functionality would make Capacities so much more powerful.

– is there a rough time horizon for this?

– asking bec I am already doing a lot of the advised pre-shaping in form of 'x/y'-tags ☺
