Yes, it is intentional and was superbly better because it was/is surprisingly easy to forget to click Add. It is still very easy to forget clicking Add for field values and if this did not autosave it would be *extremely* frustrating because there is no confirmation or alert so you *silently* lose the information you entered, and you might never realize it. For tags (only) I can now see how we could revert to not automatically saving, thanks to the new "confirmation" funtionality such as clicking Enter.
On the other hand, if you don't want the tag value you added there... then why don't you remove it? Semi-offtopic but IMO the clunky "Add" button is not elegant to begin with. IMO the button is what should be removed and the UI should insteda be that as soon as you begin to type into an empty tag field, there's another empty one created. The dropdown is used for selecting existing values/tags and a new one is created by typing a new string there and then saving the tiddler. <:-) On Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at 12:52:55 PM UTC+1 PMario wrote: > On Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at 11:27:06 AM UTC+1 TiddlyTweeter wrote: > >> Mark S. wrote: >>> >>>> In the tag field you sometimes need to type a partial text, perhaps to >>>> see a list of matching tags.
