Import keywords/tags

parhamj

With Zotero 7 is there a way to import/add tags to the tag list?
For instance, I want to include terms from a controlled vocabulary into my tag list so that I can easily assign tags from this vocabulary.

Is there a way to do this, or something similar that might also achieve the desired outcome?

The only way to create tags is to add them to an item -- you can just import a lits, but that means that you could assign a long list of tags (just paste a newline-separated list) to a stand-in item and those would then be available.

Thanks @adamsmith. Interesting workaround. Though it doesn't really scale and isn't ideal, this workaround will generally achieve the desired result.

It would be cool if Zotero included the ability to link to external vocabularies/thesauri (e.g., Getty Vocabularies, Library of Congress, ERIC, Wikidata). Maybe something to consider for future developments?
