# Maximum number of tags allowed per question

Asked by Tom Whitfield on 2026-07-05 · 17 votes

We tried adding a fourth tag to a question and it silently did not save. Is three the hard limit?

Yes, three is a hard limit (QUESTION_MAX_TAGS). A fourth tag will not save, and the UI should be blocking it rather than silently dropping it, we will make that error more visible.

Ran into the same silent-drop thing, assumed I had a typo at first.

Filed a ticket for the friendlier error message, should ship in the next couple of releases.

Ran into the silent four tag drop too, glad it is a known limitation and not just us.

The blocking error message shipped in the last release, should stop this from happening silently now.
