Inherit #tags from artist when adding albums

[delanthear]

It would make sense for tags to be automatically populated from the artists tags when you add a new release. Then you can add to, or delete them.

Quite a lot of the time they are going to be the same tags on your release as your main artists tags.

Yes. There are some complexities to keeping this in sync. For instance, what happens if someone changes their artist tags after publishing an album? But, it should work well enough to just pre-populate the artist tags into the album at the time the album is created, then let artists edit/update from there.

Also, given that tags are now becoming the most important way to find albums, I'm looking at making this much more prominent in the album setup screens.

Pre-populating the album tags with artist tags could be done as a one-off when you create a new album. And as @delanthear says, these would be just default suggestions that artists can delete, edit, add. I don't think keeping tags in sync beyond this one-time import album creation is relevant, and it might cause more headaches to developers and artists.
