Based on the information I found, it seems you’re experiencing an issue with submitting tags to an optional tag group in AnkiHub. The yellow hazard symbol and the hover message indicate there might be a problem with how you’re trying to suggest the tags. Let me help you troubleshoot this issue.

Common Issues with Optional Tag Suggestions

From the discussions I found, there are a few potential causes for your problem:

  1. Incorrect Tag Format:

    • Optional tags must follow a specific format: AnkiHub_Optional::GroupName::SubName
    • Using just AnkiHub_Optional::GroupName doesn’t work

  2. Permissions Issues:

    • You need proper permissions to suggest tags to an optional tag group
    • If you’re not a maintainer for that specific tag group, you might encounter restrictions

  3. Tag Visibility Delay:

    • Sometimes newly created tag groups might take time to fully activate in the system

How to Correctly Suggest Optional Tags

Here’s the proper process for suggesting optional tags:

  1. Go to the card you want to tag
  2. Add a tag with the exact structure: AnkiHub_Optional::OptionalTagGroupName::NameOfTag
    • For example: AnkiHub_Optional::UofU::B&B or AnkiHub_Optional::RCSI::Lecture_1
  3. Right-click on the card and select “AnkiHub: Suggest Optional Tags”
  4. Click on the deck you want to suggest the optional tag to
  5. Click “Submit suggestions”

Troubleshooting Steps

If you’re still experiencing issues:

  1. Double-check the tag format - Make sure you’re using the complete format with both the group name and subname
  2. Verify permissions - Confirm you have the necessary permissions for that optional tag group
  3. Check with the tag group creator - They might need to add you as a maintainer
  4. Update Anki - Make sure you’re using the latest version of Anki and the AnkiHub add-on

The yellow hazard symbol likely appears because the system detects an issue with the tag format or your permissions for that specific optional tag group. When you hover over it, it should provide more specific information about what’s wrong.
