My idea is: To add option “Change Tags” in the mass update on Contacts (see image)

I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea:

Why I think they would benefit from this idea:

Some tags should be synonymous with a segment, and should always parallel it, ie. Tag not present = Contact not in Segment, and vice versa.

I find myself in a circumstance where Contacts can be added manually to a Segment but without the synonymous Tag, and the only way a Contact will naturally go into the Segment is with the Tag. So some contacts in the Segment have the Tag, while others do not have the Tag.

**It would be helpful to have the option to manually mass-update the Tags of several Contacts at once.**

Hopefully this is not a huge ask. And if there’s a smarter way of using Mautic to avoid this circumstance, please share!

Thanks,

EP

You could do this via a campaign, just create a segment with all users or the selected user u need.  
Add the action change tags

Yes, it can be done that way, but it demands 10x more time than having a simple drop down menu on Contacts list.

You aren’t wrong. I have learned to navigate around this and actually use Mautic a bit differently now. Selecting multiple contacts is a bit “manual” and I find that much more commonly, contacts are modified/tagged through campaigns and other workflows.

Still, if there’s a way to edit multiple contacts’ segment membership at a time, intuition says there should be a tag option as well.
