Beta: Can't filter on tags only assigned to child items
Error ID for version: 1087073293
I have a group library with some (colored) tags attached only to child notes, no top-level items. I am not able to click on the tag in the tag selector to show only the notes with this tag. I can filter on a note that is attached to a top-level item.

I have 5.0.89 (Mac, just started using zotero) and I have the same issue still. At first I thought it was me, but it looks like this is not supposed to be this way?
To summarise: tags assigned to child notes do not show up in the tag list (bottom left corner) and do not show up when searched for in the search bar (no matter which search type is enabled. They only show up through the advanced search for tags (inconvenient). I was going to use zotero as a research hub because of this feature. Is there going to be a permanent fix for that? Thank you for your work.
I was just about to create a collection with some examples to show in screen shots, and I noticed that the issue does not exist within an intentionally created collection.
It does however exist for "unfiled items" and their child notes. I just starting using zotero for my first project and thus saw no need for collections, and they didn't cross my mind as a possible solution. I don't know if this is intentional, but in any case, I can work around it by using collections.
Sorry, for troubling you, but I probably wouldn't have found the solution without your prompt to take screen shots. Maybe this tip can help other newbies with the same problem.
