Creating a new tag is not clear on new release page
Summary
- While running through creating a release as an onboarding task, how to create a new tag name was not clear to me. Similarly, @pedroms mentioned a similar issue while reviewing an MR:
Furthermore, the way you create a new tag is very hidden. You need to type something in the search dropdown and then click “New tag”.

- Additionally, the create from input box appearing as default is a bit jarring.
When creating a release, I was confused by the “Create from” input appearing by default as it seems connected to the act of “Creating a new tag”. I had not begun that process, so this input was strange to me.
- Finally, the
required
information in the tag name field should be shown in the field label, and not as help/description text.

Solution
- Use the dropdown with a create action in the footer to allow users to more easily create a new tag.
