  • One can apparently not make an edit to a post just to change the tags. There is a message that nothing was changed because I didn't edit the post. Well, I didn't edit the body of the post, just the tags.
  • This makes it impossible to add/correct tags to otherwise perfectly fine questions, so I believe it should be regarded as a bug.

  • EDIT:
  • Specifically, I did this, and can reproduce it every time:
  • - I wanted to edit [this question](https://software.codidact.com/questions/279277) on Software Development.
  • - Add 4 tags, some are probably not yet created.
  • - I type in these tags with space in between: `C++ static thread_local dynamic-initialization static-storage-duration`
  • (`static` and `thread_local` are language keywords, dynamic initialization is a formal C++ term and static storage duration is a common formal term in C and C++ both.)
  • - The site refuses the edit with a message that I didn't change anything.
  • Perhaps it is related to tag naming or by adding tags that don't exist?

Can't edit a question just to add tags.
One can apparently not make an edit to a post just to change the tags. There is a message that nothing was changed because I didn't edit the post. Well, I didn't edit the body of the post, just the tags.

This makes it impossible to add/correct tags to otherwise perfectly fine questions, so I believe it should be regarded as a bug.
