Retool tags support for allowRemove

  1. My goal: Use the tags component with the allowRemoval property.
  2. Issue: I was unable to set the allowRemoval property through the retool UI inspector. As a workaround, I manually pushed up the property.

This is how the component would look:

However, clicking the remove icon does not actually remove it from the list. Further, the documentation does not mention how I could hook into the "remove" behavior.

How would I be able to allow a user to remove tag entries from the tag component.

  1. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot: Looked through documention and forum for solutions

Thanks for reaching out, @tinathomas_rba. After looking into this, it actually seems we reverted this particular functionality about a year ago. The exact reasoning isn't clear, so I'll reach out internally to get some clarification. As soon as I have an update, I'll reach back out here. :+1:

In the meantime, you can implement similar functionality using the Click event handler, assuming you're not already using that for something else.
