Allow Special Characters in Tags: Numbers, Umlauts, Underscores, and Hyphens
🚀 Feature Request
Summary
The current tagging system for constraints does not allow special characters like numbers, Umlauts (ä, ö, ü), underscores (_), or hyphens (-). Allowing these characters would enable more meaningful and structured tag names.
Problem to Solve / User Story
As a user organizing constraints by tag, I want to use more expressive and structured tag names, so that I can clearly distinguish between similar constraint groups and improve findability.
This would make it possible to:
-
Use tags like DDB_required, DDB_validAttributes, DDB_validElements etc.
-
Use numerically differentiated tags like Graphikportal1, Graphikportal2, etc.
Proposed Solution
Extend the character set for tags to include:
Digits (0–9)
Umlauts (ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü)
Underscores (_)
Hyphens (-)
Benefits
Enables domain-specific naming conventions for tags.
Improves tag clarity, organization, and filtering
Helps avoid ambiguous or too generic tag names.
Additional Context
Needs to ensure tags with special characters are still searchable and filterable without issues
Relevant Logs or Screenshots (if applicable)
Requirements or Dependencies
This request is related to the feature request for Multi-Tag Filtering.
Tag input fields (UI) and backend storage/validation must support extended characters.
Alternatives Considered
Using tag names like ddbRequired or GraphikportalOne – less readable and harder to group visually.
