I’m using the Kanban tool and running into a limitation with tags. It seems I can’t edit or delete the tags I create on Kanban cards, and I also don’t see a way to change their colors. Am I missing something, or is this a current limitation of Miro’s Kanban feature?

Here are the steps to edit Kanban-style Cards (which differs from the classic Miro Card).

There are at least two ways to reach the Tag edit UI:

Option 1 – From the Kanban view

  1. Group by Tags
  2. Click on Group again and Edit field


    And there it is:

 

 

Option 2 – From Table view

Click on the Tags column header and then Edit field:

    Hi ​@Jeremy Petrie, 

    thanks for flagging this! To help us better understand what’s happening on your side, could you share a short screen recording showing the steps you take when trying to edit or delete a tag in Kanban?

    It would also be helpful if you could let us know:

    • Which version of Kanban you’re using — Kanban (Beta) or Columns (formerly Kanban)?

    • Are you on the web app, desktop app, or mobile when you run into this issue?

    • Do you see the same limitation across all boards, or just on one specific board?

    • What happens exactly when you try to edit or delete a tag (e.g. option missing, greyed out, error message)?

    This will help us test and confirm whether it’s expected behavior or a potential bug.

    Eca :)

    I am also experiencing this issue, using Kanban (Beta), both desktop and browser versions across multiple boards.

    There is no way to delete or edit an existing tag.

    Additionally, tags created with a black background are displayed with black text, which is not helpful. See screenshot.

      I have the same issue. How do you edit tag colours on Miro on a Kanban board?

        A

        I got it. 

         

        1. You click on 'Go to canvas'

           

        2. Click on 'Group' > Choose the field you want to edit
          1. It will change the view. Click again on 'Group'. Your chosen field'll be selected. Click on 'Edit field'
          2. Voilà

          Thanks ​@Aline Driemeyer, but the ask here is to be able to edit tags — you have highlighted how to edit the Status data type.

           

          ​@Jeremy Petrie / ​@Rachel Collingridge / ​@Paul Phillips There doesn’t appear to be a tag management UI at this time. I would suggest that you upvote this wish list post:

          https://community.miro.com/ideas/tag-management-in-kanban-27082

           

          Whilst ​@Aline Driemeyer showed how to edit Status, instead of Tags, it _is_ possible to follow the same logic for Tags - I’ve just done so and solved my unwanted tags problem! It is a convoluted way to edit your Kanban tags, but better than not being able to at all, which is where I thought I was before reading this. Thanks ​@Aline Driemeyer!

            This should be the answer, thankfully i read all the way throug to the bottom. And especially thank you ​@Aline Driemeyer and ​@Darren Butterworth
