The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.A single line autocomplete on node add/edit forms would be a nice new feature.
For example if the user type in 'London'. Then the autocomplete would return two suggestions. Find attached mockup to clarify.
London, Ontario, Canada
London, United Kingdom
Autocomplete would not suggest the term 'London' alone.
When user submit the page Active Tags would save 3 tags: London, Ontario, Canada
Why adding this new feature? Sometime there's more then 1 town with the same name. Such as London in UK and London in Ontario, Canada.
This new feature could be optional. Something like a check/uncheck box [x] 'Single line autocomplete'.

dragonwize commentedActive Tags module does not handle the backend implimentation nor does it plan to. All Active Tags does is provide a different VISUAL widget for the user. AT leverages the existing functionality of core taxonomy autocomplete, cck taxonomy autocomplete, and any other modules that wish to provide this visual functionality. All backend features including but not limited to the retrieval of autocomplete suggestions is handled by other modules.
