    Hi David,

    I am using MLA after a few years away from web development. It is still as good as ever!

    One question: I have populated Att. Category and Att. Tag with several values. In quick edit the categories show as check boxes but the tags do not and I have to type them. Since I am arubbish typist this is dangerous as I can end up with several versions of the same tag. Is it possible to get the tags listed in the same way as the categories.
    btw I am using admin columns to extend the MLA displayed columns

    Aha, I see it does give me existing tags in a hint. Sorry I had forgotten this!

    Thanks for your question and for the updates on your progress.

    The text box and auto-suggest feature are used for flat taxonomies such as Att. Tags because it is assumed that they contain many terms without much structure.

    You can convert to a checklist approach for flat taxonomies easily:

    1. Navigate to the Settings/Media Library Assistant General tab.
    2. Scroll down to the “Taxonomy Support” section.
    3. Check the “Checklist” box in, for example, the Att. Tags row.
    4. You can also check the “Term Search” box to add the taxonomy to the “Search Media/Terms” list.
    5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Save Changes” to record your new setting(s).

    The text below the taxonomy support rows gives you more information about the effect of each column in the table.

    I hope you find that helpful. I am leaving this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the above suggestions. Thanks for your positive feedback and your continued interest in the plugin.
