Originally created by @bdlamprecht on GitHub (Mar 28, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.7
  • NetBox version: 2.5.8

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Edit a device (or any other applicable object) and add an already existing tag:
    image
  2. Select a tag to attach to device (or other object):
    image
  3. Click Update

Expected Behavior

The existing tag to be attached according to what was displayed in the WebUI

Observed Behavior

New individual tags were created for each separate word in the existing tag name:
image

The only way to work around this is to manually type the name of the tag surrounded by double-quotes:
image

I know this is documented in the section on Tags, but it doesn't exactly follow the behavior there as the WebUI is showing it will attach an existing tag (which already has spaces in the name).

This became an became an issue (I believe) when #2753 was implemented.
I'm hopeful this shouldn't be too difficult to fix, but I could be wrong (?),
