Nested tags about paperless-ng

[jonaswinkler]

Alright, this has been requested multiple times now, I'll put that on the roadmap.

Thinking about this, it could really help with a lot of things like

• whom does the file belong (only me, only my wife, shared? Some letters having me as receiver are still affect both of us)
• group items, e.g. regarding a certain topic (tax 2019 or even more specific like application for xxx with 3 letters (2 in, 1 out)
• Related property (like home, job, car, ...)

You are proposing to use this idea for bank statements: Question is how does this work together with the document type, which is not nested?

See #88.

Just adding an example use case for

• Customers
  • Customer 1
  • Customer 2
  • Customer 3
• Venders
  • Vender 1
  • Vender 2
  • Vender 3

Being able to filter using nested tags should also provide a benefit to bulk editing also.

BTW, Just started using Paperless-ng, and love it after one day. So wish I had found this a while ago.

This is the one thing I am waiting for. Since I use 4 main tags:

• what
• who
• where
• when

I have been doing this in Evernote since day 1 and it's so far the only reason I cannot swap to paperless-ng.

This would be really helpful for how I tag my physical receipts once they're scanned. For example, I tag my grocery receipts (or online order invoices) like this:

• Doc1: Groceries, Store 1
• Doc2: Groceries, Store 2
• ... etc

It would help me if adding the nested tag added the parent tag automatically too. In the above case, if I tag something "Store 2", the document would also ideally get the "Groceries" tag magically.
