Re: Locked Tags Hello, I also want to set the available tags for users to only be the ones added through the admin panel and not free-text entry by users. But I couldn't found it anywhere. If anyone knows, could you tell me? BTW, I'm using nodeBB v4.2.0. Thanks a lot.:smiley:

You can set this on the category edit page.

@baris Sorry, I still couldn't find it on the category edit page - I only found settings for the range of tags per topic and tag whitelist. These two options don't seem to lock tags. Did I miss something or get it wrong? Could you please tell me specifically where to find this?

When you add a tag whitelist for a category, users will be forced to only use those tags in the composer.

@baris Ah, I misunderstood what the tag whitelist does.:sweat_smile: Thanks so much for clarifying!
