Apostrophes in Tags

It's a little thing, but I would very much like to be able to use apostrophes in Tags.  Anything possessive like "Bobby's Sister" has to be written "Bobbys Sister", and it drives my OCD nuts to see it.  :p

"It's Complicated" would be my new favorite tag for significant others in troubled relationships.

Gonna put a +1 down here, I too have had moments where I wanted this function.

Okay... you can put apostrophes in tags.  I just tagged a character with "He's a drunk" to test it.  It didn't show in the GM menu, but did in the Cast List.

Re: Apostrophes in Tags

That's weird.  Everything after the apostrophe drops in the GM menu, but it shows up fine in the Cast page.

Was it always like that?  I know I was having trouble with the stuff disappearing, and I honestly can't recall if I just went by what I saw in the GM menu or if I checked the Cast page, as well.  I apologize if it was already functional.

Re: Apostrophes in Tags

Oops, just encountered a glitch with it.

If I change one tag to read "It's Complicated", and then update the tags, it updates the tag correctly but drops everything but "It" from the GM screen.

If I then go in and change a different character's tag to "Bobby's Sister", it updates Bobby's Sister correctly, but then changes "It's Complicated" to only "It" since that's all that shows in the screen.

So the ability to use the apostrophe is there, but one has to make certain that they re-enter all of the tags with apostrophes each time they do a mass update.

I assume at this point that it wouldn't be a problem if the tags were updated one at a time using the Character Edit screen.

Re: Apostrophes in Tags

Don't know if it always did it - never tried it before.  Should be fixable, I think, kinda like the way thread titles used to cut off everything after an ampersand.

Don't thank me yet, jase is the one who might be able to do something with it.
