I’m using tagit with autocomplete and I’d like to populate my tags list with the current tags when editing an item.
I also have it configured to save the Id of the tag in a hidden input field upon selection and this hidden input is currently populated with the tag Id’s of the current item being edited.
How exactly do I set the initial values on the tag editor?
To solve this problem I changed to use the standard tag names rather than ID’s in the hidden input field.
This means I have to get the tag IDs from the db upon submission but it doesn’t appear to be a huge overhead.
