Tag requests
How uploaders request a new tag option during tagging, and how club admins approve or decline it.
Use this article to request a new tag option while tagging a file, and to approve or decline requests as a club admin.
Whether someone can request a new option depends on how the field is configured. A club admin sets this under Settings → Tagging when editing a dropdown field's "Allow other answers" setting.
When uploaders can request a new tag option
Each dropdown field has one of three "Allow other answers" modes:
| Setting | What the uploader can do |
|---|---|
| "Allow other answers" | Add a new option immediately and use it |
| "Allow other answer requests" | Submit a request for a club admin to approve |
| "Don't allow other answers" | Pick only from the approved list |
This article covers the "Allow other answer requests" workflow.
How an uploader requests a new tag option
During tagging, open the field and type in the search box labeled "Search or add new option". If the field allows requests, the uploader sees "Start typing to request a new option" or "Enter to request".
Press Enter to submit the request. A toast shows "Requesting option..." and then "Option requested". The new value appears with an "In review" badge until a club admin acts on it.
Before finishing the upload or saving tags, the uploader can "Undo" or "Keep" a requested option that is still in review.
Approving or declining a request in Settings → Tagging
Club admins can accept or decline tag option requests from Settings → Tagging.
- Open Settings → Tagging and open the form and field.
- Open the field options modal and switch to the "Requested" tab.
- Click the check icon to accept or the X icon to decline.
If you decline, a "Decline requested field option" dialog warns that declining removes the option and deletes any tags using it from affected files. click Decline to confirm or "Cancel" to go back.
Optional Review on a request opens the related upload in Media so you can inspect the tagged files first.
Approving or declining a request from Activity
Club admins can also handle requests from the "Activity" page.
- Open Activity from the sidebar.
- In the "Requests" section, find a "Field option requested" card.
- click Accept or "Decline", or "Inspect" to open the files in Media with a filter applied.
Toasts Confirm Request accepted or "Request declined".
What happens after a tag option request is approved
When a request is accepted, the option moves to the "Approved" list and becomes available to everyone tagging that field. Tags already applied with that option stay on the files.
When tags are saved and include a requested option, Clipido can also accept the related pending request automatically as part of the save.
What happens when a tag option request is declined
Declining removes the requested option. Any tags on files that used that option are deleted. Uploaders who suggested the option will need to pick a different approved option instead.
