When creating a new AnkiHub deck that has subdecks with at least one card each, you are prompted with the following:
Now if I want to create a new subdeck and add a new card to it, is there any way to automatically assign the tag that would correspond to the cards of said new subdeck in a way similar to how it happens during the initial upload? Or do I have to manually type out a new tag in the same format as that of the initial subdeck to tag conversion and add it to my cards of said new subdeck?
For example, in my image I have three subdecks of the uploaded deck, each with one card that has a tag of the format AnkiHub_Subdeck::AnkiHub_test_deck::subdeck_1, AnkiHub_Subdeck::AnkiHub_test_deck::subdeck_2 and AnkiHub_Subdeck::AnkiHub_test_deck::subdeck_3, for the card of each respective subdeck.
If I make a new subdeck, namely âsubdeck 4â, and add a card to it, is there any way to automatically assign it the tag AnkiHub_Subdeck::AnkiHub_test_deck::subdeck_4 based on the detail that this card is located in âsubdeck 4â?
At the moment no, but thatâs a good idea. For now you have to manually add the tag
@jakub.f is there a way to auto add Subdeck tags on upload or suggestion of a new note? Could add that down the line
Maybe even an option âapply Subdeck tagsâ and itâd auto add Subdeck tags to selected notes in the browser?
My thoughts exactly.
This button could fit either in the right click select context menu in the card browser, in the form of âAnkiHub: apply Subdeck tags [to selected cards]â
Or in the top bar AnkiHub dropdown in the card browser, as in âapply Subdeck tags to all cardsâ.
Agreed. This would be a simple solution in the meantime until we can create a more elegant fix

There is a create tags from subdecks addon (Convert Subdecks to Tag Hierarchy - AnkiWeb), and this could be used then suggested to ankihub. Thatâs not automatic though

This relies on yet another addon, but it does work well, so Iâm marking this as a solution.
By default Convert Subdecks to Tag Hierarchy - AnkiWeb replaces the spaces in subdeck names with dashes (-) instead of underscores (_), as opposed to AnkiHubâs first upload subdeck to tag conversion, but fortunately this can be tweaked from the addonâs settings so it behaves just like AnkiHub.
Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions. Looking forward to having this as an automatic function of AnkiHub

Thatâs a good idea and itâs not hard to do.
One thing related to this is the bulk suggestion limit. If it stays at 500 it would be tedious to suggest all the subdeck tags that will be generated (for large decks at least).
I believe weâre going to change the bulk suggestion limit to 5000 too so that could be difficult. Maybe just a popup that asks about adding subdeck tags if they donât exist and if they do, running the function to add popup tags first, then adding the suggestion?
