Ideas for Arc XP

Disable the auto fill-in for tags in ARC

Can we get rid of the auto complete in the tags. It's SO frustrating that it overrides what you write and takes numerous times before it stops. And then it messes up our topics pages because sometimes people don't double check and it adds random tags (even from other stations) on the story.

    We're planning this as part of the new editor experience in Composer!

    Adding to this: One issue we see here is if a user begins typing in tag and types the Enter/Return key on their keyboard, it pulls in the first suggested or recommended tag. The workaround to this is typing the comma key on the keyboard, but not many users know about this.

    For example, let's say you type "Detroit" and the top-level recommended tag in the list that appears is "Detroit Lions" -- when the user types the Enter/Return key, they'll end up with "Detroit Lions" as the tag, versus "Detroit" as the tag they had intended to use. Thus, they have to delete the tag and start over.

    Can we have some sort of organization-level option in Composer Settings that allows us to disable the automatic insertion of the top-level recommended tag via the Enter/Return key, or make it a requirement where on the keyboard, you have to type the down arrow to select the suggested tag should the user wish to use this?

    We would expect pressing the Enter/Return key after typing in anything in a field to complete your task, versus typing a comma (or any other key).

    Thanks!
