I'm new to Umbraco and need to use tags in a project. I would like to limit what tags content editors can use to a predefined list. The default property editor allows you to enter any value and it will create a new entry in the tags table. I'm thinking about creating a custom property editor, but I'm not sure how I would add SupportTags to it. Or is there a way to use the default editor and configure it to a specific list of tags? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Kevin - I am looking for the same solution of using predefined tags to control content. Did you find a way of getting back content for a dropdown list? Dan

Hi Kevin
I think you can use the predefined Dropdown list for this scenario.
Just create a Dropdown list with a possibility to select multiple items and predefined all valid tags
Thanks,

Thanks Alex. I will give that a try. I was hoping to use the TagQuery helper to get back content, but I can look at other ways to search.
