Modify Tags of multiple items

cb102
Is there a way to add/delete/modify the tags of multiple items at the same time?

E.g. Search for items with tag "christmas", select them all and change that tag to "easter".

    Deleting/Renaming a tag for _all_ items is possible, yes: just right-click it in the tag selector on the left and select rename or delete respectively.

    Batch-add by dragging to an existing tag on the left.

    Hi! I am trying to reactivate this old question. Has there been a development concerning the renaming/deleting process for selected tags. I am trying to delete tags for individual groups of entries without deleting the tag altogether ( I want to delete some tags from entries that are given to me by the page I downloaded them from, some of them make no sense for my library)

    The only way to do that from the Zotero app is to use colored tags. Right click on the tag in the left pane, choose assign color, and pick a color. Then, select the items to de-tag and type the number on your keyboard corresponding to the position of the colored tag.

    Thank you, @bwiernik! It's an effective workaround for this problem.
