Cascading tags

Is there a way to read the tags of a parent folder and apply them to the contents?

You can access the tags but there's no way to blindly copy them all to another file.

Read up on nested conditions: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/how-to-cr ... onditions/

With that you can do:
Code: Select all
If (all) are met
    If (all) are met for (the enclosing folder)
        Tags ....


What that does is match a file based on the tags of the parent folder. The problem is that you can't use a custom attribute to grab all the tags. The best you can do is capture the first one, or hardcode it to look for specific tags and then set those.

I was afraid of that.

Thanks for the answer anyway.
