Unable to color tag the folder in MacBook Pro

2 issues:


  1. Using m4 pro macbook pro, air-dropped the folder from my old mbp to this new mbp, however, when I tried to color tag the folder, it is not showing up in the color tags. Seems like tagging is not working (shown in screenshot 1). Tagging is pretty good with local documents (anything I created within this new mbp). But when I tried to tag the document airdropped from the old mbp, the folder/document itself shows the little color dot on the bottom left, indicating it is correctly tagged, but when I go to that color, it is no where to be found.

2. Second thing, as shown in screenshot, color tags are not colorized (red is nothing). But if I click show all tags. The

color came back on.


Not sure if these are some user errors or potential bugs, any fixes?
