Disappearing tags after saving new file

Yes, tagging a file while saving/downloading it doesn't work as intended. The tag disappears and the user has to "manually" locate the file and assign a tag to it.

I'm a new user who really likes this feature and I would like it even more if it WORKED.

I hope it gets fixed soon! I am on Big Sur.

With Pages v11.1 (as an example), if you click the unsaved Untitled.pages title bar and insert a tag name or color there, and then save the document, the tag is not preserved on the saved file. At this point, you can control-click the file, and enter the tag(s) from the Finder secondary menu. Or…

If you save the Untitled.pages document, a save panel appears where you can add a tag, change it to a real filename and save location. This places a tag on the saved file. This approach will prevent lost tags.
