Description

What happened?

The name of this filter option is a plural "has tags", but it doesn't allow the user to input multiple tags similar to how the "category > one of" filters work. It should probably either allow multiple inputs, or the option should be renamed to "has tag" (singular)

How can we reproduce the issue?

try to filter transaction list by "Notes > has tags"

Where are you hosting Actual?

Research direction
Investigate the filter UI component to locate where the 'Notes > has tags' option is defined. Check if there is a similar filter for 'category > one of' to understand how multiple inputs are handled. Then decide whether to add multiple tag input or rename the label. The issue has three comments that may provide additional context; review them for maintainer feedback.
