UXML element TagField

The TagField is an Editor-only control that lets users select a tag from a list of tags. It is commonly used in the InspectorA Unity window that displays information about the currently selected GameObject, asset or project settings, allowing you to inspect and edit the values. More info
See in Glossary window to allow users to select a tag for a GameObjectThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info
See in Glossary.

Note: To align an element with other fields in an Inspector window, simply apply the .unity-base-field__aligned USS class to it. For more information, refer to BaseField.

Create a TagField element

You can create a TagField with UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. Unity currently supports three UI systems. More info
See in Glossary Builder, UXML, or C#. The following C# example creates a TagField with a default tag:

using UnityEditor.UIElements;
...
var tagField = new TagField();
tagField.label = "Tag";
tagField.value = "Player";

Example

The following UXML example creates a TagField:

<UXML xmlns="UnityEngine.UIElements" xmlns:uie="UnityEditor.UIElements">
    <uie:TagField label="UXML Field" name="the-uxml-field" />
</UXML>

The following C# example illustrates some of the customizable functionalities of the TagField:

/// <sample>
// Get a reference to the field from UXML and assign a value to it.
var uxmlField = container.Q<TagField>("the-uxml-field");
uxmlField.value = "Player";

// Create a new field, disable it, and give it a style class.
var csharpField = new TagField("C# Field");
csharpField.SetEnabled(false);
csharpField.AddToClassList("some-styled-field");
csharpField.value = uxmlField.value;
container.Add(csharpField);

// Mirror the value of the UXML field into the C# field.
uxmlField.RegisterCallback<ChangeEvent<string>>((evt) =>
{
    csharpField.value = evt.newValue;
});
/// </sample>

To try this example live in Unity, go to Window > UI Toolkit > Samples.

This element also inherits the following attributes from VisualElement:

USS classes

The following table lists all the C# public property names and their related USS selector.

You can also use the Matching Selectors section in the Inspector or the UI Toolkit Debugger to see which USS selectors affect the components of the VisualElement at every level of its hierarchy.
