Ghost Tags Aren't Helpful

Removing ghost tags from a task is so time-consuming because it's not a simple "click the X button" to remove them. You have to go to the parent task and then search through and find the specific task you're looking for. It would be so much easier to either 1) not have them or 2) make it so that I can remove them with a simple click of a button instead of having to go "detach" the task.

Hi Emily Bressler,

honestly I don't understand your issue. Ghost tags indicate the location of a parent item, and as you already pointed out, you have to detach a subitem to be able to remove it from the regarding folder. But why do you create subitems if you don't want it? If items should be tagged individually, they can't be subitems, which necessarily make them dependent on their parent task. Ghost tags are just a visualsation of this dependency.

Hi @Florian Kislich
My team and I have encountered this issue multiple times when creating a new sub-task. Wrike will not include the new written subtask and will instead link a subtask from a different project. For example, adding something from September OCP to October OCP, which results in the task being tagged twice. To remove it, I have to go in and detach the task from the incorrect area. If ghost tags were allowed to be removed by simply clicking an "x" like you do with a regular tag, then I wouldn't have this issue.

Ghost tagging is the worst "feature". I feel as though an Admin at the very least should be able to easily 'x' the out the issue. Also, when you outdent it can move the task to the wrong place within the project which is annoying as well.

@Monica Davidson yes! I hate when I outdent something, and it just goes into the abyss
