Ron, I think you have made my point far more eloquently. It is this fiddling around trying to find other ways of generating tags that led me to suggest more tags would be a better option.
I only posted to the UG to see if there was a general feeling that more tags would be desirable. Based on feedback to this group I think the answer is "no", so I'll drop the idea instead of making a suggested improvement.

Whenever I have something that I want to remain tagged, I create a Source record to describe that such as your example of knowing which individuals for whom you have acquired a will. Then, I can easily find everyone with that source and re-mark them with one of the tags. In this way, I have unlimited tags that can be stored such that certain "sources" become a permanent tag. One that I use often is a source that tells me if an individual is a participant in our family DNA project. Using that source, I can quickly re-tag all the DNA participants when I wish to report on them. One other way that I can "remember" a select group of individuals, is to save a focus group and then re-load that focus group to be used for re-tagging that group, etc. Hope these ideas will help you with your database operations.
