Hi All
As a total newbie to OpenHab, I’ve been having a terrible job getting my head around how to add tags (as my system was configured using PaperUI, rather than text files).
I followed this post (mentioned by adam_e) and have added my own experience / tips to the bottom of it (May 22nd 2018)
[Apply tags to items added/linked in Paper UI - #11 by oklona]
I hope it helps someone else.

I couldn’t work out what you were referring to when you kept questioning if I had linked things to items.
I think I’ve got my head around it now.
To give my feedback, It seems like if I left OpenHab2 in Simple Mode and let it create Items from Things automatically, I was unable to edit the Items later.
So although it a bit of a long winded process, I’m finding that creating Items as I add Things not only makes it easier in the future, but the names I choose make more sense.
One tiny observation, which might be due to me using a SnapShot build (Circa 1283),
When I add a Thing, then open the Thing’s channels to link to an Item.
I have to create a New Item each time, but clicking “Link” doesn’t link the newly created Item.
It appears to create the Item because if I click Cancel, then try to Link the channel of the Thing again, the new Item appears in the list and can be linked.
