toggleTag and multiple Tags

[Chris Eichenberg]

To anyone's knowledge is there a modification/substitute to toggleTag plugin that would allow it to apply to multiple tags? So for example a check could add Tag1, Tag2, Tag3, etc. and unchecking would do the reverse. I've check the old posts ( pre-TW5 ) and saw  one post that hinted at the possibility, but nothing more than that.

Hello Stuart, I guess, since the plugin is small and somewhat simple, this is a proper task for AI :)

Here's my take on this. Below is the result (I've amended metadata a little – changed plugin name). I haven't reviewed the whole code, but tested it, and it works fine.

/***
|Name       |ToggleMultiTagPlugin|
|Description|Makes a checkbox that toggles several tags in a tiddler at once|
|Version    |3.2.0|
|Date       |06-Oct-2025|
|Author     |Modified by ChatGPT (based on Simon Baird’s ToggleTagPlugin)|

!!Usage
{{{<<toggleTag }}}//{{{TiddlerName 'LabelText' TagName1 TagName2 ...}}}//{{{>>}}}
* TiddlerName — the tiddler to toggle tags in (default = current tiddler)
* LabelText — text (wikified) to show next to checkbox (default = list of tag names)
* TagName1, TagName2, ... — one or more tags to toggle at once
(If a parameter is '.' then the default will be used)
* TouchMod flag — no longer needed; config.toggleTagAlwaysTouchModDate still applies
!!Examples
|Code|Description|Example|h
|{{{<<toggleTag>>}}}|Toggles default tag (“checked”) in this tiddler|<<toggleTag>>|
|{{{<<toggleTag MyTiddler 'click me' tag1 tag2>>}}}|Toggles both “tag1” and “tag2” in “MyTiddler”|<<toggleTag MyTiddler 'click me' tag1 tag2>>|
|{{{<<toggleTag . 'important tags' important urgent>>}}}|Toggles tags “important” and “urgent” in current tiddler|<<toggleTag . 'important tags' important urgent>>|
!!Notes
* Checkbox is checked if all listed tags are present
* Clicking adds all tags if any are missing, removes all if all are present
* If the tiddler doesn’t exist, it will be created (if createIfRequired is true)
* Set label to '-' for no label

it works. Thanks!

A note to anyone using this, if you want it to apply to the tiddler that it is being added to use "" in the Tiddler Name spot. It is not really noted in the original plugin as far as I am aware. I pulled my copy from an old file I had ( like 2.8.1 for such ) so I either saw a post about it or noodled it out somehow.
