Hi,

I am using a global to create multiple cards of motorbikes. The tags look like above.

Reverting it to a non-global and it works.

Eeek, I’ve not tested Tags in globals! We’ll dig into this now and find out what’s going on and get it fixed.

Hi @dan,

forgot to mention. Tags can not be overwritten in globals. Approach would be the same like you showed for when to use Globals.

Ah-ha! Just looked into this now with @tpbradley and it’s because it uses collections!

So, yes, right now Collections won’t work with Globals — this is on the list to be fixed!

Thanks for the report 😊
